-WSS 2.0 is/was Windows Sharepoint Services, and is/was free with the Server 
2003 OS (probably all but Web edition).
-SPS 2003 is Sharepoint Portal Server 2003 and is the pay-for version of WSS 
2.0 (lots more bells and whistles).

-WSS 3.0 is Windows Sharepoint Services, and is a free upgrade for WSS 2.0 on 
Server 2003 OS (probably all but Web edition), or can be done as a clean 
install from the download.
-MOSS 2007 is Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007 and is the pay-for 
version of WSS 3.0 (lots more bells and whistles).  This is the next server 
version up from SPS 2003.

Subject: Really stupid question

Okay my brain is fried pretty good at the moment so I need a bit of help.  
Sharepoint use to come two ways, free and expensive.  The free one was 
Sharepoint Services the expensive one was Sharepoint Server.  I think 
Sharepoint Server morphed into Sharepoint 2007 then into MOSS.  The free one is 
still Sharepoint Services and is still at 3.0.  Am I correct in this?  Anyone 
have an idea as to when the replacement for Sharepoint Services will be coming 
out?

Thanks,

Jon
