I have found some differences b/w BO and XI and only the last is specific to
XIR2

Difference between BO and XI

• BO uses classic BO Architecture whereas XI uses Crystal Classic
  Architecture.


• BO uses 57 tables for BO repo and 8 tables for auditor whereas XI uses 8
  tables for CMS and 6 tables for auditor.


• BO has different security domains whereas XI does not have different
  security domains.


• In BO, all objects are stored in repository whereas in XI Objects are
  physically stored in Input FRS and instances are stored in output FRS.


• In BO after installation, we have configure and create BO mainkey whereas
  in XI it is pre-installed.


• In BO classic, key is an xml file and it has to be placed in relevant
  location whereas in XI a key code is used.


• In BO if you want to save a report to repository you have to publish the
  report whereas in XI you can save by clicking "Save as" and select "Enterprise
  "


• In BO, BCA and supervision are entirely separate but in XI they are merged
  into CMC


• In XI there is no separate auditor instead there is an auditor database
  where we can create tables based on that


• BO has it's own reporting tools whereas XI uses crystal reports as its
  reporting tool


• BO is user centric ? means rights are assigned to user where as XI is
  object centric ? means rights are assigned on objects level not user level
  


• BO ? all reports are stored in categories, in XI infoview there are folder
  and categories but all main storage is in folders


• In XI R1 there was no concept of full client but that concept is
  introduced in XI R2
