| It's time! Microsoft has gone all "GA" with the real, public, bona fide release of SharePoint 2013 this month. And 2010 fans get something too – the latest crop of updates for the workhorse SharePoint 2010 platform. I know there's a lot of you still – ran into a whole bunch at this month's SharePoint Conference Europe in Copenhagen. Across the water in Sweden (about 25 minutes away) there's a fantastic residential tower dubbed the "Turning Torso", about 60 stories. And no, it doesn't move in the wind, or rotate, or anything.

As with all recent CU's, Microsoft presents two bits of standard operating procedure as "Known Issues" in this release:
- You must run the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizards – the "gray wizard" or PSCONFIG to fully deploy the patches to all servers after installation (that's not news, really, but Microsoft included this disclaimer).
- You have to manually stop and restart the user Profile Synchronization Service after the update to keep UPS running smoothly. (Same as ever.)
In August 2011, Microsoft changed the process for rolling out Cumulative Updates. CUs are now packaged for each particular platform – SharePoint Foundation, SharePoint Server, Or Project Server. So, if you're installing the August 2011 or later CUs on SharePoint Server – you don't need to separately install the Foundation CU first – that is now fully packaged into the Server CU.
SharePoint 2010 release numbers can be found similarly to how you find them in 2007 - just go to Central Admin | System Settings | Manage Servers In Farm. Or, in PowerShell, use:
(get-spfarm).buildversion
