Embedding reporting services as a standalone product

Hi,
In the application that I am working on, we currently use Crystal Reports as
the embedded reporting engine. I am trying to evaluate if we should move
over to Microsoft Reporting Services. However, one thing confuses me. It
seems Microsoft Reporting Services will work only as a server under IIS.
This will not work for our customers. I am wondering if Reporting Services
has any embedded component much like Crystal Reports that we could use.
Thank you in advance for your help.
SunnyVersion 2 will have a web form and a winform that does not require the
server (works with the server if there but does not require it).

Edition vs Engine Edition

Serverproperty has two parameters that seem closely defined:
"Engine Edition" and "Edition". What is the difference between them? Is
there any detailed documentation on the difference, and the consequences
therefrom?
I have a server where Edition="Developer Edition", and EngineEdition = Enterprise.

the functionality you get. In your case, you get Enterprise Edition
functionality for the low price of a Developer Edition.
