Eventually it will incorporate all the hardware with full functionality 
under one API. It currently supports only the USRP2 and most of the 
dbords at the moment.

So currently the main benefits are:
        using usrp2 on a non linux based OS
        using usrp2 without gnuradio (not just NI)
        controlling the dboard antennas (mentioned earlier)
        individually controllable dboard gains
        aligned receive in a mimo configuration

What we are missing in UHD that gr-usrp2 has:
        DBSRX support
        TVRX support
