I will be grateful to anyone who can tell me where to find a clear,
comprehensive explanation of what features of Reporting Services are
available in which edition(s) of Reporting Services.
I'm using Reporting Services 2005.
After much searching/experimenting, I now know 2 things:
--A "scale-out deployment" is not supported in the Standard version
(this also appears to mean that the encryption keys are useless on
any but the original machine -- so disaster recovery is problematic)
--"Click through" reports, via Report Builder type reports, are not available
in the Standard version.
It certainly is a time-drain to discover and verify these things one at a
time.
Assistance would be greatly appreciated (and anticipated from Microsoft).

P.S. Among other things, I have looked around quite a bit starting from:
ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.VSIPCC.v80/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/rptsrvr9/html/b8d18d3d-9db0-43e7-8286-7b46cc3a37ed.htm
That seems a comprehensive "root" to a lot of resources -- but if there's a
feature chart by Edition, it has eluded me so far.I googled: reporting services features
First hit is this:

I really appreciate it.
And... is "Infinite Click-through" the same thing as "Click through reports"?
Actually, I just did a search and found out that it is -- but please pass on
a vote for a little "blurb" of explanation on feature charts, rather than the
austere case of only one or two words to guess from, identifying a given
feature.
Again, thanks very much for the reply.
