There are lot differences are there between Sharepoint 2007 and Sharepoint 2010. Moreover Sharepoint 2010 is latest in the market. Sharepoint 2007 / WSS 3.0 on Windows 7 / Vista : For this you need to install a small utility from Bamboo solutions : wssOnVista. It is free. http://community.bamboosolutions.com/blogs/bambooteamblog/archive/2008/05/21/how-to-install-windows-sharepoint-services-3-0-sp1-on-vista-x64-x86.aspx http://community.bamboosolutions.com/blogs/bambooteamblog/archive/2009/05/07/installing-wss-3-0-moss-sp2-on-windows-7-rc.aspx You can use Microsoft Online Virtual labs also to learn.
