33 New Dynamic Management Views In SQL Server 2008

I was just poking around in SQL Server 2008 and wanted to know if there were any new Dynamic Management Views. There are a total of 33 new Dynamic Management Views. The list of them is below, I think their names make clear what the dmv is supposed to do (or at least I think I know)

dm_cdc_errors
dm_cdc_log_scan_sessions
dm_cryptographic_provider_algorithms
dm_cryptographic_provider_keys
dm_cryptographic_provider_properties
dm_cryptographic_provider_sessions
dm_database_encryption_keys
dm_db_mirroring_auto_page_repair
dm_db_mirroring_past_actions
dm_filestream_oob_handles
dm_filestream_oob_requests
dm_os_dispatcher_pools
dm_os_memory_brokers
dm_os_memory_nodes
dm_os_nodes
dm_os_process_memory
dm_os_spinlock_stats
dm_os_sys_memory
dm_resource_governor_configuration
dm_resource_governor_resource_pools
dm_resource_governor_workload_groups
dm_sql_referenced_entities
dm_sql_referencing_entities
dm_tran_commit_table
dm_xe_map_values
dm_xe_object_columns
dm_xe_objects
dm_xe_packages
dm_xe_session_event_actions
dm_xe_session_events
dm_xe_session_object_columns
dm_xe_session_targets
dm_xe_sessions

If you want to find out what the names of all the new DMVs are by running a query on your SQL Server 2008 box and you don't have a linked server to a SQL Server 2005 box then don't worry I have prepared the query below for you.
