This is probably not the ideal place to ask this question but I'm just not sure what Form Server 2007 is for. I admit that I have not spent any significant amount of time looking into it. My very limited knowledge about it says it's built on top of WSS 3.0. I'm not sure what that means. I guess I'm trying to find out what "additional" functionalities Form Server provides that the OOB WSS/MOSS don't already provide, and the compelling reasons why it's useful in the business world.
Why need Form Server 2007? Thought WSS/MOSS covers that kind of funcationalities

Or another reason to use Forms Server 2007 is if you dont want to or do not need the full functionality of MOSS. You may have a WSS 3.0 environment yet you still want to render Forms in a browser. Then this is the ideal purpose to use Forms Server.

Form server is basically a MOSS component (for the enterprise MOSS version) that allows you to publish infopath forms so that users will be able to view them as web forms instead of installing the infopath client.
Its very useful to create forms with the richness of infopath, and publishing them to be viewable in a web broweser. that way you dont have to be a .net developer to create a complex form for the intra\internet.
It's like MS Access for the web...
