When will ReportViewer support Tablix in LOCAL mode? Will I have to wait for the next version of Visual Studio, or will there be an update before that?
The plan for supporting Tablix, the new Data Visualization and Richly formatted text for local mode is Visual Studio 2010. Our current target is that the change will be part of Beta2. (Again, no promise as schedule might change.)

Tablix is an RDL construct. It still surfaces in the UI as a table or matrix. But these are just starting points on the design surface. Either one can be converted to the other by adding or changing columns and rows. Both surface the full capabilities of tablix. If you look at the XML generated in the RDLC for a table or matrix, you will see the tablix tag.
