Report Builder queries

I have not been able to take a look at the new report builder, but I needed
some information urgently!
Can someone please help me out?
Does the usage of report builder need a client to be installed in every user
who needs to use ad hoc reporting? Is this client installed automatically on
clicking on the report?
Does the client also need Visual Studio?
thanks!

Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.comThere is no pre-installed software... When you click on report builder, it is
automatically downloaded onto the client and runs. You do not need visual
studio. This is for report builder developers.
For users of reports, there is no difference between report builder reports
and other reports, it is strictly an IIS web page...

A user who wants to use the new ad hoc reporting feature - will the report
builder client get installed on his machine? The reason I ask this is the
clients are external and will be accessing the reports over the internet and
may have strict security policies that may not allow any sort of software
downloads or installations
Thank you!
