Well, as TechEd 2013 came to a close, I left both excited and overwhelmed at the same time. I feel that I know more than I did before I came and that I don’t know nearly enough.

Typically, Microsoft announces some big thing at TechEd each year. In 2012, it was the unveiling of the final features to be released with Windows 8 and Server 2012. These were both known quantities, but the feature parade was stunning nonetheless.
