Performance Point Server SP2 pre-release nuggets
Hello everyone,
Performance point server SP2 is planned to be release on December 2008.
We are currently waiting for the beta version, due in a couple of days.
The dev team has relased some nuggets regarding the upcoming release:
1. The support for SQL Server 2008 has been established:
a. SSRS report view now supports the SSRS2008 connection.
b. Setup up over SQL Server 2008
2. Support for virtualization environments:
As previously mentioned by Norm's blog post:

Performance Point Server would support virtualization (using Hyper-V),
you can read further about it at:

Since Planning Server requires wide topology, this issue could change the future architecture of planning implementation.
I'll update you as the Beta test proceeds.
Stay tune,
Eran
