Just had an update to the above blog...

Anything that leads with jargon-rich nonsense should raise your suspicions: The CONNECT Edition version of MicroStation enables you to take a massive leap forward with cool features such as Item Types, Sheet Index, Parametric Modeling, and many more. Have you started using powerful properties-based features like Reports, Tables, and Display Rules in your projects yet? Additionally, there are also features such as Configuration, Ribbon UI, though different are more advanced than previous MicroStation versions.

• Massive Leap — how can a leap be massive?
• Powerful properties-based features — can a feature, whether property-based or not, be described as powerful?
• Features such as Configuration, Ribbon UI, are more advanced than previous MicroStation versions — some might dispute (in fact have often disputed since CONNECT was introduced) whether those features really are 'more advanced'

Shaylesh Lunawat gets this week's booby prize for over-use of the word feature (6 mentions), closely followed by advanced (4 mentions).  However, he gains a commendation for not using paradigm.

Thanks but why do I have to register when this has happened in the past?

Also why not just give a direct link to the webinar?

It was two steps backwards one forward so at the moment Update 13 back to were v8i was but with newer DWG format. Microstation Powerdraft is also named Microstation so not everyone benefit from massive leap 3D modelling and visualization advancements. Can't wait for U14 when finally it would advance from v8i. 

I also don't care if a feature is "cool".
I care that it is functional and useful.

And I'd like to remind that author that "Configuration" has been around a long time. Configuration has been a feature of Microstation longer than some of my coworkers have been alive.
