Crystal Reports is not bundled with VisualStudio 2010. I don't think there is a free version any more. There are open source alternatives (BIRT, Jasper, Pentaho, SSRS Express, etc) but the learning curve on them is expensive in terms of your time.

You can distribute Crystal Reports made with Visual Studio Professional at no extra cost above what you pay for Visual Studio. As mentioned you do need to have, at least, the Professional SKU and Crystal Reports is available in the last three editions of Visual Studio Pro(2005, 2008, and 2010).
