1. SharePoint Foundation 2010 is basically a Web-based ASP.NET application that extends an IIS website that process HTML requests through a set of ASP.NET (.aspx) pages, .Net application programming interfaces (APIs), and XML Web services.
2. It processes and executes the business logic using a combination of .NET and SharePoint object assemblies. The data is stored in the back-end SQL database. SharePoint then presents the information to the user in the standard HTML format compatible with most Web browsers.
3. An IIS website that has been extended with SharePoint Foundation 2010 is called a Web Application (and was called a virtual server in SharePoint 2003)
4.The Search and Index server is an executable (MsSearch.exe) that is installed as Web services in Windows Server. Its primary job is to index the content of the database to help with search operation on lists, documents, and files. Note that SharePoint Server 2010 uses entirely different search architecture than that of SharePoint Foundation 2010.
5. SharePoint Foundation 2010 uses Microsoft SQL Server to store both the configuration as well as the content in the databases.
