Hi

The posts below can provide you some initial information on how to migrate from CRM 4 to CRM 2011:

Your plugins, html pages, microsoft supported ISV changes should not be a problem as upgrade process takes care of them.

However, Biztalk integration will be a challenge as unlike CRM 4.0 there is no adapter available.

Hope this will help you to gain some insight

The Plugins and Javascript will only work for release CRM 2011 and then they will not be supported in the next release of CRM. Although this is a long way off it's something to think about.

Although the plugins, javascript , html pages and ISV changes should work you will have to test them because sometimes they don't work when you upgrade them.
