SSP contains all the services in 2007. now each individual service is a stand alone Service application.

each of these service applications has its own content DB's.

one application can have many instances of these services.

for example we can create 2 metadata services 1 for enterprise and 1 for bankingdomain

and we can link this service applications to more than one webapplication.

we can configure this service application when we creating the webapplication or we can configure this later by going..

making services to run independently gives u more performance and more reusability.
