While you cannot install Exchange 2007 RTM on Windows Server 2008, Exchange 2007 RTM will be supported with Windows Server 2008 RTM domain controllers. Exchange 2003 Service Pack 2 will be similarly supported: Exchange 2003 cannot be installed on Windows Server 2008, but will be supported with Windows Server 2008 domain controllers.

Actually, any version of Exchange can not be allowed to install on Web edition of Windows.
Also Web edition of Windows 2003 can not be upgraded to Windows 2003 standard/enterprise edition.

So you can either go for fresh installation of standard/enterprise edition of Windows or install Exchange in virtual environment...Amit Tank | MVP Exchange Server | MCITP: EMA | MCSA: M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com
