Business Objects has released Crystal Reports 2008 with some exciting new features such as support for embedded Flash. However, the use of CR2008 for thousands of users is not possible because the RDC component has been removed. If you aren't familiar with the RDC, it is the COM server that you use from COM-based tools such as Visual FoxPro and VB6. IMO, this is a very poor business decision from BO. So, if you're using Crystal Reports with your VFP or VB6 apps, don't bother with Crystal Reports 2008.
