Please, can anyone tell me what are the main differences between SSRS 2005 & Crystal Reports?

---

the main differences are:

1. SSRS is tabled-base design pattern but in CR you can place objects every where freely.
2. Export to Excel in SSRS works better than CR, CR will disappoint you to use this future.
3. CR have several options to manage your sections for example(underlying following section) is very useful but there is no such an option in SSRS, and many more options in CR for Page Managements.
4. CR has Client Side Report Creation API(CRAXDDRT) which can let your customers modify and create new Reports.
5. CR using Formula in C and basic and SSRS using Expressions.
6. SSRS is very compatible with Sharepoint list and can Create reports based on Lists.
7. Cross Tables in CR vs Matrix Reprts in SSRS.
8. Both of them support OLAP Connections.
