hi,

the R/3 systems 4.6/4.7 are full of erp applications like FI, CO, HR, etc.

the WAS6.x systems are just the technical basis for those systems (or you can use them standalone). since R/3 Enterprise (4.7) the SAP systems (or other products like BW, CRM) use the WAS6.x as technical basis, too.

Maybe things would be more clear if you look at eg service.sap.com/nw04 in order to see what the big picture concenrning netweaver is.
