Nice article, I think it is worth a mention to discuss upgrade paths even within the Server 2008 ecosystem. You mention briefly that 32-bit isnt supported, but it is also important to remember you cannot upgrade a 32-bit install to a 64-bit even if you have the hardware for it, you need to do a fresh install. Also you cannot do moves from core to standard. There is a full list here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd979563(WS.10).aspx I am getting ready to migrate my servers over in the next week or so after I do a few more tests, so I had this all fresh in my mind!
