Some additional information from Grant Holiday in terms of the 2005 to 2008 upgrade journey is and I quote:"
If you perform an upgrade from TFS2005, then upgrade WSS2.0 to WSS3.0 – you will need to specify an additional port for SharePoint Central Administration – which can’t be the same as your existing one.
By default, the WSS installer selects a random one, but I tend to choose 17013 or something like that.
Sudhir’s blog has some different upgrade scenarios:

- How do I upgrade from VS 2005 with default instance of TFS to Orcas with SQL named instance?
- How do I upgrade from VS 2005 with WSS2.0 to Orcas with WSS3.0?
- How do I upgrade from VS2005 with WSS3.0 to Orcas with remote (existing) WSS3.0 farm?
- How do I upgrade from VS 2005 with domain account for TFS service to Orcas with Network Service?
