No they just renamed terminal services to remote desktop services with 2008 R2
Same licensing, same application virtualization?
Same licensing BUT different licenses!  You will need 2008 or 2008 R2 RDS CALs to use 2008 R2 RDS.
Same type of licenisng for Terminal Server.

Application Virtualization is not part of RDS. What is part of RDS is allowing you to deploy Applications only to run a terminal environment instead of a desktop
How can I check what licenses my 2008 r2 has? It is enabled for application virtualization?
You have to buy the RDS CALs separately, they do not come with the product.
