Hi Team,
what are the main differences between these two versions? actually my client asked me to install 2008 cluster. i heard at some where that 2008 is a failed version, and that is the reason they released R2.
some are saying that, there is no difference except in BI. confused. Experts, can you provide me more information on ths???

is there any cost difference in that?
can i suggest them to install 2008R2 on windows 2008 server? (both are 64 bit)
