Correct, most of the major features from the CRW are now embedded in the
RDS.

Two features are not:
1) TMG v5.x does not have anything similar to the Report Wizard.
2) In TMG v4.x, when reports are run from the CRW Log, the user will always
be brought back to the CRW Log when the report completes. Since TMG v5.x
does not have a CRW Log, the user is brought back to the current layout.
