IIS Not required in SQL 2008 Reporting Services

    It seems like SQL 2008 does not require IIS to build and run reports from the Internet Explorer since I was able to do it. But can someone explain to me how does SQL 2008 achieve this without the use of IIS and how can others in the network access the reports?

    Thanks in Advance.

    First - I am not a windows expert - I know what happens although some of the terminology on the Windows side might a a little wrong. So...

    Windows has a function called something like "HTTP.SYS". This is what IIS uses to actually receive/send web pages. SQL 2008 also knows about this function. So SQL 2008 can sit there waitting for Reporting Services web page requests without the need for IIS.
