I wrote an expansion to the original SharePoint Team Services (STS) back in 2002. I was told recently by a student that their former employer (small mom-and-pop biz) still used STS and my software was why. It was called the SharePoint PowerPak; it added a few features that "inspired" built-in functionally in later versions. Was primarily written by hacking apart the insides of STS and sending a few emails to some MS folks to get clarification on some undocumented thing that I was interfacing with. Color-coded calendars, categorized content in document libraries, tasks with an "email assignee" workflow, a Windows XP theme for STS, and a few other features. Was actually really proud of that one! I then worked with another dev on a search add-in for STS called SharePoint PowerSearch. It was clever in that it used the little-known "_search" target for <a> elements that, basically, opened the link into a sidebar frame that IE had back in the day. The mom-and-pop business had that installed too. Those tools, along with a community site I ran, blossomed into the SharePoint training and consulting company I own today. So that's two 14-year old products still in use at a small business in the Philadelphia area. Made me smile to hear about it.
