Sorry but you are wrong. Gradual upgrades are from like product to product. So it's possible to have gradual upgrades from WSS 2.0 to WSS 3.0 or from SPS 2003 to SPS 2007 BUT it is not possible to somehow extract WSS 2.0 from SPS 2003 and then upgrade only that bit to WSS 3.0. Your gradual upgrade link was for SPS 2003 to SPS 2007.

Thanks for all your help! Our current SPS 2003 site only use WSS 2.0 related features. If I upgrade our SPS 2003 to MOSS, Is there any way I can move the site content from MOSS to WSS 3.0? Can I open the site collection from MOSS, save it to a STP file associate with the site content and then recreate the site collection from the STP file in ESS 3.0? Thanks, Peter

Unfortunately no. :( Once MOSS touches SharePoint content it can only be rendered in MOSS, not WSS. Databases, site collection backups, web level exports, site templates, all of it. There are some third party vendors, like Metalogix, that can make that work for you though. tk

We have a sps 2003 farm but we only use wss 2.0 related features as I mentioned earlier. Now we really want to find out a way to migrate it into SPF 2010. Do you have any suggestions? If I can not migrate SPS 2003 into WSS 3.0, does it mean migrate from SPS 2003 to SPF 2010 is not possible?
