After the bad news about what's missing in SQL Server 2008, I thought it would be good to talk about what the most exciting bit is in the new release.  For me this is the next version of Reporting Services. 

Reporting Services in SQL server 2005 can do amazing things and has already shaken up the reporting market place, but for me it has one major drawback and that is that to make it fly you have to be using Visual Studio.  And that's OK for us IT Professionals, but what about lawyers (no jokes please), accountants, sales staff, and all of the non-IT Professionals?
