I haven't had the time to study and evaluate yet but I hear SQL Server 2008
has new features to support GIS and Mapping. Can somebody provide me with
clarity, a synopsis and perhaps a URL which outlines and explains this
particular type of functionality?

How about this?

A quick google search will turn up tons of info as well.
