Very exciting!! I'm looking forward to testing this!!

On the other hand... I'm sure there won't be word on this at this time (or even whether or not the decision has been made), but it will be quite disappointing if this is yet another feature reserved for the BI or Enterprise editions of SQL.

With the major licensing changes that came with 2012, I doubt there will be more changes again soon, but I really wish the SQL licensing would follow that of the Windows side--Standard and Datacenter editions, each fully functional, but differing in scalability only. It's frustrating that many smaller businesses are effectively denied access (because they can't afford it) to functionality they could really benefit from (like Power View) just as much as larger businesses. Typically they don't need the scalability and next-level resiliency functions of Enterprise edition. It would be great if the difference between Standard and Enterprise on the SQL side worked similarly--same functionality in each, but differing by ability to scale.
