2003 R2 added it as an installable optional feature (Disk 2).  I never
looked at the 2008 I ran to see if it was retained but my guess would be it
is a feature not a roll.  IF it is still there.  I would guess that 2008 did
not have it upgraded as MOSS (the paid version was being pushed hard at the
time).  I would love to have the hardware to setup and run the upgraded
version of WSS 3 on 2008 just to check it out.  MOSS was very nice I had it
up for a couple of days on a VHD.
