Difference between SharePoint Foundation and Sharepoint Server

In every SP beginners mind, the first question clicks that "What is difference between SP Foundation and SP Server".

Friends,  it will clear by following some points.

1. The Major difference between the both of the SharePoint versions is SP Foundation is free and for SP Server you need to pay the license cost.
You won't find following features in Foundation edition.
  • Business intelligence
  •  Audience Targeting
  • Improved Governance
  • Secure Store Service
  • Web Analytic s
  • Enterprise Wikis
  • Tag Clouds & Profiles


2. Strictly speaking, SharePoint Server is SharePoint Foundation with additional features. Therefore, all your SharePoint Foundation development skills can be used in SharePoint Server as well. What you should/could use depends on the requirements of your project. Some projects require features that are only available in SharePoint Server, so that narrows your options.
If your PC is not powerful enough to run SharePoint Server, there's always the option to install it on a development server and connect to it remotely. That is... if you have a development server available.

What is the difference between SharePoint Foundation and SharePoint 2010?” “What is part of Standard and Enterprise editions?” These are two of the most common questions I get asked by both people who are new to the SharePoint platform and by people who have worked with one flavor of SharePoint.
Microsoft has a great resource that lists exactly which features are part of which edition of SharePoint. You can even filter the features list by functional area (sites, communities, content, search, insights, and composites). Not only is each feature listed, but hovering over the feature will display a short description of the features. Some features even link to a video showing the feature.

This is one of the few golden resources that I recommend you print, bookmark, email to colleagues, send to One Note, tweet, … whatever it takes to make it readily available. Enjoy.
