Why leave this important first news of the major new feature in AC13 to a third party to announce? It is so full of waffle and business speak, it is virtually incomprehensible to the average reader. (Favourite word of the day - simultaneity! eh?) 
I've never used it myself, but can it not be summed up as - 'TW2 is a system where only the changes are sent over the network rather than the whole model, making the process substantially faster than it is at the moment. An instant message-like service is integrated to help team members organise element reservation and easily markup and discuss project based issues in real-time.' That didn't take 12 pages, did it!!
I am planning to investigate teamwork further in the future, so I am definitely keeping my eye on this. From what I understand so far, it looks a big improvement, but it seems it will have more benefit for larger firms rather than small practices. It would be useful to see some screenshots and videos of the process before release to help us understand it better.

Reading about TW2 was really interesting. I am sure big fish will benefit from it tons. (actually have you seen the new google product, wave? well it reminded me of that )
Unfortunatelly , and since each release brings 1-2 major stuff, i think for all us smaller fishes, there is nothing major comming
(i hope i am wrong ofcourse)

If the "big fish benefit tons" more big fish will consider using ArchiCAD. This puts money into GS marketing and development coffers, boosting a virtuous circle of development and expansion. We might even see more manufacturers building GDL objects of their products.
Indirectly the small fry are likely to benefit.
