The following features of .Net Fraemwork 3.0 are used in WSS 3.0:
Windows Workflow Foundation (WF):
Windows Workflow Foundation (WWF) is a Microsoft technology for defining, executing, and managing workflow's. This is used extensively by WSS 3.0 to run built-in workflow's that ship with the product, but also provides the ability of building new and custom workflow's. This can either be done using Visual Studio or SPD (Sharepoint Designer).
Windows Communication Foundation (WCF):
The WCF programming model unifies web services, .NET Remoting, distributed transactions, and message queues into a single service-oriented programming model for distributed computing. This removes the complexity of trying to manager each of these methods individually in the application and also creates a standard to manage these communication mechanisms.
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF):
WPF is a consistent programming model for building solutions that enables the use of richer controls, design, and development in Windows programs. This now allows the developer to easily insert and use components such as video, animation, 2/3D graphics, and various kinds of documents into the application whist removing the complexity of trying to use API's directly like we did in the past.
Windows CardSpace (WCS):
WCS (originally called Info Card) helps people keep track of their digital identities as distinct information cards. This allows easier authentications on many web sites without the need to re-enter usernames and passwords or even credit card information. It is also encrypted and therefore a lot more secure
