Welcome to the Community,

Basically  yes. However, vCenter Server 5.5 requires at lease Windows 2008 SP2 (for requirements see e.g. http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2052334)

Hi Charlie,

Answer is "NO"

You cannot install vCenter 5.5 on 2008.

I will update you O/S and other requirement for 5.5 in next update at the earliest possible.

HI Charlie, Ans: vCenter 5,5 requires Windows Server 2008 SP2 at the minimum, Note:  vCenter Server 5.5 removes support for Windows Server 2008 SP1 as a host operating system. Upgrade Windows Server 2008 SP1 hosts to SP2 before upgrading vCenter Server to version 5.5
