Server 2008 Upgrade
I know that if I install Exchange 2007 (with or without SP1) on Server 2003, I can not do an inplace upgrade to Server 2008.However, if I install Exchange 2007 SP1 on Server 2008 RC1 today, would an inplace upgrade to Server 2008 RTM be supported?Thanks

Its best not to rush it. I'm eager for 2k8 to rtm as well...
here explains what you already know, the fact you can't upgrade 2k3 to 2k8 with exchange

I've just done exactly that and have blogged the procedure here: http://blog.solarfusion.co.uk/2008/02/upgrading-server-2008-rc-server-running.html
Basically you need to re-install the CAS role after the "upgrade" to RTM.
