Difference between Microsoft Report Viewer and Crystal Report Viewer

[daviddoria]

These things look about the same to me. Is there any reason I should use one over the other?

Are you using Crystal reports or MS Reporting Services?

haha im not really sure? I was using an rpt file, and now I saw an rdlc thing that looked easier to layout - so maybe that is a parallel question - what is the difference between those?

Thanks! From what I gathered from those I should use the MS Report instead of crystal reports.
