Web Parts are server-side controls that run inside the context of special pages (that is, Web Part Pages) within an ASP.NET application or a Windows SharePoint Services site. They are the "building blocks" of pages in Windows SharePoint Services. Windows SharePoint Services includes out-of-the-box Web Parts that you can use as soon as you have installed the product. In addition, you can build your own Web Parts and deploy them to the server. MSDN - Web Parts Overview
Developing a Custom Web Part
As well as all the out of the box web parts (below) you can create your own web parts too.

Leveraging the SharePoint Web Parts
SharePoint provides a suite of web parts out of the box that can be configured to Leverage the SharePoint Platform. It is a common mistake to start writing a custom web part from scratch rather than leveraging what is already available out of the box. This section of the wiki should communicate what each web part can do, it's limitations and how to extend it if possible.

I believe the Web Part List is "broken" after the Business section. A new table started and I don't think you wanted one.

Are you showing for SharePoint 2007?

I think the table has been corrected. These features are only included with MOSS Enterprise. However, without too much difficulty, you can create dashboards within MOSS Standard or WSS by wrapping ASP.NET controls into SharePoint web parts. You should be able to connect your web part to pretty much any data source (e.g. SharePoint list, relational DB, API, etc.), including web services like Google Analytics, Twitter, Facebook, ,etc.). DMC in Chicago has some good examples of a <a href=www.dmcinfo.com/Services/SharePoint-Consulting-Services/SharePoint-Solution-Packages/SharePoint-Dashboards.aspx>SharePoint Dashboard</a> that is built on WSS. The dashboards can be AJAX enabled as well.

Other than designing/developing a webpart by writing "lines of code" is there a way to "drag and drop" controls in Visual Studio just like we do in developing asp.net applications?

What about the "x's" after Business Data , DashBoard , and Filter?
Are the entries in the appropriate boxes. I found another source that had ALL of those were only available via Enterprise edition. Can you confirm?
