Awesome talk, Stephen! Wish I could have been there in person!

Thank you in particular for going "deep".

One quick question re your demo where Wait causes a deadlock: is that a change in behavior? I haven't tried it, but from my understanding of http://blogs.msdn.com/b/pfxteam/archive/2009/10/15/9907713.aspx, I would expect Wait to run the task inline in this scenario.
