In this post I would like to talk about the fantastic 40
It's not a dream team or same group from fairy tale
Its 40 site template for WSS and MOSS, and with this template we can create a site that help to managed help desk division, or site for call center and many more
We can download the template from here

This template will help as to manage Equipment, like meeting room (no more public folder!!) car, or lap top
Before we install the template, we must install the Application Template Core
This template is an administrative template, and it's the platform for all the other templates.
