Introduction
In Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services, either a site definition or a custom site template defines how to instantiate a Web site when an end user creates a site through the user interface (UI). A definition or template determines, for example, the lists, files, Web Parts, Features, or settings with which to provision a new SharePoint site.
MOSS 2007 Site templates:
MOSS 2007 Site templates we have four category of templates
1) Collaboration
2) Meetings
3) Enterprise
4) Publishing
Collaboration
Team Site: A site for teams to quickly organize, author, and share information. It provides a document library, and lists for managing announcements, calendar items, tasks, and discussions.
Blank Site: A blank site for you to customize based on your requirements.
Document Workspace: A site for colleagues to work together on a document. It provides a document library for storing the primary document and supporting files, a tasks list for assigning to-do items, and a links list for resources related to the document.
Wiki Site: A site for a community to brainstorm and share ideas. It provides Web pages that can be quickly edited to record information and then linked together through keywords
Blog: A site for a person or team to post ideas, observations, and expertise that site visitors can comment on.

Enterprise
Document Center: A site to centrally manage documents in your enterprise.
Records Center: This template creates a site designed for records management. Records managers can configure the routing table to direct incoming files to specific locations. The site prevents records from being modified after they are added to the repository.
Site Directory: A site for listing and categorizing important sites in your organization. It includes different views for categorized sites, top sites, and a site map.
Report Center: A site for creating, managing, and delivering Web pages, dashboards, and key performance indicators that communicate metrics, goals, and business intelligence information.
Search Center With Tabs: A site for delivering the search experience. The welcome page includes a search box with two tabs: one for general searches, and another for searches for information about people. You can add and customize tabs to focus on other search scopes or result types.
My Site Host: A site used for hosting personal sites (My Sites) and the public People Profile page. This template needs to be provisioned only once per Shared Service Provider, please consult the documentation for details.
Search Center: A site for delivering the search experience. The site includes pages for search results and advanced searches.
Publishing
Collaboration Portal: A starter site hierarchy for an intranet divisional portal. It includes a home page, a News site, a Site Directory, a Document Center, and a Search Center with Tabs. Typically, this site has nearly as many contributors as readers and is used to host team sites.
Publishing Portal: A starter site hierarchy for an Internet-facing site or a large intranet portal. This site can be customized easily with distinctive branding. It includes a home page, a sample press releases subsite, a Search Center, and a login page. Typically, this site has many more readers than contributors, and it is used to publish Web pages with approval workflows.
Summary
In Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, a site definition still consists of a set of XML files located on front-end Web servers, which can be applied to provision new sites, and a site template (.STP) file can also still be applied to provision new sites as done previously. A site template, created through the user interface or through implementation of the object model, is a package containing a set of differences and changes from a base site definition. The site template package is stored as a CAB-based file that can be downloaded or uploaded to site collections by users with the appropriate rights. As before, site templates offer a measure of portability to SharePoint applications.
