What are the major differences between Sql Server 2005 and Sql Server 2008?

How could I convince my organization to invest in Sql Server 2008?

For me, one major aspect that I see is that they have a good framework to programmatically generate SSIS packages with the use of ezAPI.

I want to know your reasons.

Thanks.
