Brian Bischof's comparison between Crystal Reports and SQL Reporting Services

Could someone paste a link to a place where I could download the .pdf
comparison between Crystal Reports and SQL Reporting Services that was
done by Brian Bischof?
His web site seems to be down and I really need this to help make up
my mind.
Thanks in advance.
Jimis this the one?

I cannot be sure if it is because of the writers lack of knowledge of SSRS
and in depth experience with CR, or what the issue might be.
However, I have 10 years of experience working with CR (since v 5) and about
a year with RS, so I am in the same situation, so if I can recognize how he
is misleading, he should be able to as well.

You right. I just read it. I almost choked when I saw his take on the
license fees. I'd say that most of us run RS on the same box. He then
quotes $7,500 for CR Server but neglects to say that it's for 5 users. 10
users will cost you $15,000, 20 will cost you $30,000.
Read the URL and think about the bias of the source.
