If you read the Solutions Sharing Network Program overview, you will see that as part of engaging with Microsoft fully in the program, we support customers in the deployment of a custom built portal environment to support their Solutions Sharing needs. Many of these portals are only available on extranets and only allow access for a known collection of organizations, but others, at least in part, are available for anyone to browse.
We are currently in the process of refreshing the SSN Portal Platform components to support the forthcoming Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS 2007) release, and I am hoping that we will be able to get more of these new and refreshed sites available to the public, but for now the ones you can view, at least in part as an anonymous user, are listed below. I will add/modify this list as changes occur.
