Enterprise customers should not need more than one instantiation of the manager and can even run it within as a guest on rhel KVM. Having a manager on 2003 vs. 2008 is not a big issue. The bigger deal is requiring a closed source .net application to run the environment at all. I understand that this will be addressed though.

I apologize for tone of the previous post.

The second and seventh paragraphs both say that these requirements are for the management servers. There’s no mention of guests in this post at all.

Windows 2008 Guests ARE supported. Do the research before you post? The MANAGEMENT console needs to be 2003. Get it right!
