How does Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services Report Builder 2.0
differ from the editor included in Visual Studio 2008?

Would it be better to use this editor then the one in VS2008?

Hi Harolds,
Thank you for using Microsoft MSDN Managed Newsgroup.

Report Builder 2.0 has been enriched with many new features, compared with VS2008, Report Builder 2.0 is quite a better lightweight
report authoring tool. However for some advanced features like custom code or assemblies, page and printing settings etc, they still
require Business Intelligence Development Studio.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
