It is not a question of issue installing it on a win2k3 box instead of a win2k8 box. It is a question of features. If you are in a cluster environment, there's some more feature in win2k8 to support clusters that win2k3 does not have.

SQL 2008 will run on windows server 2003 with no problems that I am aware of. I tested sql 2008 on windows 2003, but in Production I run windows 2008 sql 2008.

You need SP2 minimum to run it on win2k3 if you plan to go that path

I do not recall everything but I do remember that there was a new cluster system (using votes from each nodes).
More node support (up to 16)
New quorum model
Table disks less error prone (redundant header entries)
Things like that

1. a-One of the biggest items I enjoyed moving to windows server 2008 is the network stack upgrade on this OS...but that is because I do backups to a data domain device
b- Clustering on windows server 2008 is an amazing upgrade version windows 2003.
2. No Issues at all.
