So, my job is currently trying to start using Windows Sharepoint and I am really confused as to how it works. I don’t really understand how you access Sharepoint. You can’t install it on a “normal” computer running an operating system such as Windows 7 or Vista, correct? You need to install it on a machine running a server OS, right? So, I guess my real question relates to how Server OS’s work. I don’t understand how the users in my business are going to be able to use Sharepoint if you can’t even install the application on our computers because we aren’t running a Server OS. Do we just access Sharepoint online, because I know you use a browser to use it. I am just confused! Please explain anything you can! Thanks!

Hi Maha22.

Which version were you thinking of using? Microsoft SharePoint 2010 requires a Windows 2008 server environment, with SQL Server 2008. You can see the system requirements here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485.aspx#section4

Once installed and running on a server, users can access it through a web browser, as it is all web-based.

Also, what's your setup - do you only have a peer to peer network, or do you have servers too?
