TechEd 2006 and 2005 Comparison

In retrospect, and evaluating TechEd 2006 Barcelona, I must say that it was a great event with great speakers, with the high level of quality expected from Microsoft.
But, comparing to Amesterdam 2005, there are some details that were worse:

• The corridors and stairs were very narrow (at least for the amount of people present);
• The CommNet had very few computers available;
• No VOIP phones (that was a major loss!);
• Some sessions filled up very easily while others were less than half (the full sessions should all have a repetition);
• The week pass from Amesterdam was downgraded to a 10 trips ticket (to visit the city, or even, have dinner, one would have to count the tickets very closely);
• There was no major announcement or new (much of the content was based on the TechEd USA);
