Hi,
We are going to implement Sharepoint 2007. Over the point we are thinking about having 2 Sharepoint 2007 server. One for intranet and internal stuff and the other for the website and extranet.
My question is how much flexible sharepoint 2007 is in terms of design and customization. Can we do asp.net programming and AJAX with it or is that functionality disabled.
I might sound a bit stupid but the last time I checked Sharepoint 2003 with asp and i was trying to use Includes, it didn't work.
Also since sharepoint 2007 have great content management, would it be a good idea to use it for websites as we might have to develop about 3-4 websites.
Last but not the least Can we change the design and give the main sites the feel like any good website on the web
It would be helpful if you can point me to patterns and practices if any for the sharepoint design and customization.
Thanks

WSS 3 and hence MOSS 2007 are now totally built on ASP.NET 2.0. It is very customizable, see Custom Branding info at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa830818.aspx and Heather Solomons blog at http://www.heathersolomon.com/Blog/
