Difference between SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2

  • Hello guys,

    I would like to know what is the difference between SQL 2008 and SQL 2008 R2?

    Is SQL 2008 R2 equal to SQL 2008 SP2?

    I'm sorry if it seems a dumb question but this something that has been bothering me for a while.

    Thanks

    In cases like this nothing beats official documentation. Lots of differences, check SS2K8R2 features here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993.aspx
