In-place upgrade to Windows 2008 considerations when Sharepoint is installed
Has anyone done an in-place upgrade of Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 with MOSS 2k7 or WSS 3.0 installed? Any docs/links that outline any pitfalls or caveats to be aware of during this process?

The link doesn't really answer the question. The submitter mentions that he heard it's messy, but it's never addressed or talked about.
I'm not concerned about the SQL server. Let's say it's a Sharepoint server that has every other Sharepoint service except for sql. I want to do an in-place upgrade to Windows Server 2008.
