Browser compatibility for Reporting Services

We are considering using Reporting Services along with Dundas charts for our
web-based reporting application. However, we hear that using Reporting
Services will LIMIT us to only I.E. browser. Is this true? Can Reporting
Services be used with other web browsers besides I.E.?
Thank you,
Morgan StricklandJust my 2 cents. I use IE and FireFox. The Report Manager and Report
Server webs and the web service rendering work just fine in IE. It doesn't
work correctly in Firefox 1.0.4. I would be curious to test Mozilla and
some of the others...

The actual reports do work for me, but not all the functionality.

support for other browsers. We are working on addressing these for SQL 2005
Reporting Services. We plan to support Firefox and Safari in addition to IE.
Every single feature might not work, but most things should.

We are just now planning on upgrading from SQL 2000 to SQL 2003 (and begin
using Reporting Services). Does SQL 2003 support browsers other than IE? If
not, when is SQL 2005 due for release?
Thank you

a SQL Server 2003. MS has said that SQL Server 2005 will be released this
year.
