Instructor Notes
The Farm is the highest-level scope for a WSS deployment. It represents an installation of one of more Web servers and back-end servers and has exactly one configuration database associated with it.

A Web Application is an IIS Web site extended to use WSS. In WSS V2, the term "Virtual Server" was used to mean the same thing. This is important because the object model provides the SPVirtualServer class to program against a Web application. A Web application is capable of hosting 10,000s of site collections.

A Site Collection is a container for WSS sites that must exist within a specific content database. A site collection always contains a top-level site and can optionally contain child site below. The site collection is a unit of ownership, secure-ability and recoverability. Back in the WSS V1 days, site collections were called "sites" and consequently the object model provides an SPSite object to program against site collections.

A site is a container that holds pages and content and it must exist within a specific site collection. Back in the WSS V1 days, sites were called "webs" and consequently the object model provides an SPWeb object to program against sites.
