Anyone know if sabnzbd supports Windows Server 2008? Any known issues?

Have you tried yourself? It is only a few mouse clicks ...

Trying it now... have to install Windows Server 2008 first. Will post back with results. Windows Server 2008 is based on Vista, and Vista is supported with the exception of UAC issues. I'm not sure the UAC is in Windows Server 2008... but I'm about to find out.

Ok, short answer: it works.

Long answer:

Server 2008 is based on Vista, so that means UAC. UAC is garbage and does not belong on a server. Any decent sysadmin knows how to manage users w/o UAC. Anyway. The overly restrictive firewall and the network classificiation as "private" and "public" make it not worth my time.

I'm going to go back to Server 2003.

If you want, you could also try Linux, for example Ubuntu. It's free and it's fun.
