SharePoint 2007 Application Templates

Returning by popular demand but with more new capability, 40 new application templates will be released soon.  You can find the list here, but I have captured the list below for convenience.  Also, note the highlighted areas describing the upgrade process from the WSS v2 templates.  The WSS v2 templates could be viewed here so that you didn't have to install them to check them out.  I'm hoping Bill will include the v3 templates once they are released.

Forty new Application Templates are coming soon for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. Twenty of the templates will be “site admin templates” and available in English only. These templates will be easy for site administrators to install in a template gallery without requiring server administration access.

The remaining twenty will be “server admin templates” and available in eleven languages (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Korean, and Hebrew). These will be created as site definitions, providing tighter integration and enhanced functionality within the Windows SharePoint Services platform. They will require a server administrator to install.

*List of Application Templates for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 subject to change.

Upgrades : Microsoft will release tools and guidance to help customers attempt upgrades from some of the previous Application Templates for Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 to run on the new Version 3.0 platform. Application Templates for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 are not backwards-compatible with Version 2.0.
