As a nice little Christmas gift, there have been several new KB articles published over that last several days that discuss the Pre-Upgrade Checker that will ship as part of WSS 3.0 SP2.  The role of the Pre-Upgrade Checker is to enable you to assess your environment for any problems you might need to address before you upgrade to WSS 4.0 when it becomes available.

 

The "root" KB article is here:

 

That one has links to others that describe various rules that the checker will apply to generate warning and error messages.

 

The CustomListView rule article hints at some improvements in the tried and true list view: "the new XSLT-based list view" and the CustomFieldType rule article hints at "the new XSLT-based field types" - hmm.  Sounds interesting.  Sounds like I need to hone my XSLT skills.
