report builder, which edition of 2005?

My question:
Does the end-user reporting tool (report builder) in Sql Server 2005 exist
in the Standard Version or is it only in the Enterprise Version?
I have found a couple of conflicting articles on the web.
Thanks in advance.Just Enterprise.
Not sure about development version. Previously that version was identical to
enterprise.

More research found this information as well.
"This week, at Microsoft TechEd in Orlando, Florida, Microsoft turned a
complete 180 in the way the company will license SQL Server Reporting
Services and Report Builder. Microsoft was planning to include Report Builder
in SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition but not Standard Edition or other less
expensive SQL Server SKUs. I thought that was going to be a big mistake for
Microsoft, and many people in the SQL Server community agreed with me. But
this week, Microsoft Senior Vice President of Server Applications Paul
Flessner announced that Reporting Services will be included in all editions
of SQL Server 2005. In addition, the Workgroup and Standard Editions of SQL
Server 2005 will include Report Builder."
