Microsoft needs to introduce Visual Basic 6.0 back to the market ! Nobody likes .NET Framework dependent programs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VB6 is the most powerful programming language!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We do not like VB .NET or the dependence of .NET Framework! Also, we will not port anything from VB6 to VB.NET. Visual Vasic 6.0 is here to stay!

Pros
Visual Studio really is the best SSRS report writing tool out there.
Cons
I had a lot of trouble with the upgrade from 2005 to 2008. A plug in didn't load and it took help desk 6 hours working on my computer to get it right. But, in the end, I was really glad their help desk was helpful.
Summary
Great product - difficult to upgrade 2005 to 2008, but worth it.
