One of the main factors being:

I don’t really know anything about Analysis Services, but MS have just pushed out some addins for leverageing this part of SQL2005 from Excel 2007 – Thought this might be useful to some folks (I’m thinking of Will!)

Some intresting stuff, some less so, and I’d like to see the bussness that could acutally put it into practice!
