While keeping product changes contained, we have made significant investments to ease deployment and management of Service Packs:

        * Slipstream — You are now able to integrate the base installation with service packs (or Hotfixes) and install in a single step.
        * Service Pack Uninstall — You are now able to uninstall only the Service Pack (without removing the whole instance)
        * Report Builder 2.0 Click Once capability"
