- Delta's for Document management (don't use a full version for each version of an Office document),
- Sparse columns,
- WCM (cross site collection navigation OOTB, improved publishing & page size options),
- Search is 1 product (FAST & SP Search),
- App model (development options are more numerous),
- REST (OData) is a 1st class citizen - improved access to REST API/external access to services such as search,
- .NET 4.5 instead of .NET 3.5 (Workflow is a big winner),
- Workflow (Workflow in SP2010 is better than MOSS) but performance and architecture is greatly improved,
- Side by side Enterprise and standard edition CAL's to lower TCO,
- Sticky sessions no longer needed - distribute cache is shared,
- SharePoint 365 is awesome,
- People search is even better with less customisations being required - OOTB it does more,
- UPS has 3 sync options in SP2013 as opposed to 1 method in SP2010 - the simpler AD sync and an option to link to FIM (beautiful),
- Improved OOTB pdf support,
- SkyDrive Pro 2013 replaces Workspace (may not be good but I do like SkyDrive),
- OWA is a separate product not bundled with SP2010 as a Service Application.
- Licencing (simplified and cheaper, OWA is free. Search which is the FAST replacement is part of SP2013. There is no longer a separate Internet (FIS) and Internal SP Server licence.)
- Search-Driven content
- Search Provides html previews without OWA. OWA adds previews/thumbs for search results on Office documents. I believe pdf can also be setup with some work.
- Search has REST API that support requests in both Keyword Query Language (KQL) and FAST Query Language (FQL).
