SQL Server 2005

I'm in the What's New In SQL Server 2005 session, since I was at one of the regional launch events, not much is new for me, buuut, it's a nice refresher. I'm an accountant so I have to work to scrape up the time to play with SQL 2005 and my time has been kind of limited. But I have played with it and I like what I see. I really like the new Reporting Services features geared toward power users. Microsoft often focuses on developers to the detriment of power users and this brings power users back into the fold.
