| Windows Server 2008 Windows SharePoint Services 3.0On October 29, 2007 we announced that Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 bits will not be included on the Windows Server 2008 media; however, will remain available as a separate download, as a result changing the installation routine. For those who used evaluation and release candidate builds of Windows Server 2008, Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 was included as a server role, adding the role subsequently configured supporting roles and role services - as a clean installation, this configuration must be performed by the server administrator and includes adding the Web Server (IIS)) role and role services.
