As James mentions it's not a valuable comparison as it's two completely different tools. No "SharePoint is not a database" and no "SQL is not a collaboration, document management, ... platform".
But to answer your question only point 7 and 8 has been changed (fixed) in SP2013.
For more information: Here is my take on the eight points:
Primary and foreign ...

Worked for me: server 2k12, SQL 2k12, SharePoint 2k13. This was done on Hyper-V
I did it as a single server installation, joining the server to my existing domain,
used the full installation option (default) as opposed to the stand alone server. Beyond that, I accepted the defaults as it's the first time I've played with this edition.
As for Perms, I ...

Virtual Server doesn't support X64 guests.
So running Win 7 your best options are most likely:
VHD Boot
VM Ware
VM Ware is nice because you may have other things running on the machine at the same time, but be aware of the Hardware and software requirements for SharePoint 2013 Preview, which states 8GB Ram for foundation, 24GB for Server, so unless you ...

unfortunately, afaik (& tested) the REST services are only working for authenticated users. You'll need to create a bridge service calling with credentials the native ones if you want to provide that functionality but since you're authenticating your request, are you sure it's not an authentication issue ? Does the target username / password combination ...

Apologies if this doesn't directly answer your questions, but I think the main point to be made here is that SQL databases and Microsoft SharePoint solve two completely different issues.
Can you store documents and collaborate with people using SQL out of the box?
Can you find colleagues with similar skills, interests who have uploaded documents you are ...

James is so right, it's not SharePoint vs SQL Server, it's a matter of using the right tool for the right business needs but to go deeper in these assumptions
Cascading Delete / Primary & Foreign Keys are available since SP2010 and handled through built-in features like :
Unique Column policy
Joins between lists
Projected Fields

I think any release date you see at present will be speculation as there is nothing official from Microsoft.
Many have speculated that MS will try to align the Office 15 release date with their conference in November, so I suppose the best answer anyone can give you right now is "probably the end of this year".

CloudShare has the option of spinning up SharePoint 2013 environments if you want to test on-premises
Office 365 has the Sign up for an Office 365 Developer Site if you want to test the upcomming Office 365

Installing SharePoint 2013 on Windows 8 is simply NOT supported
But, instead Windows 8 is the provided with ability to run Hyper-V in the client O/S and hence you can easily install the SharePoint Server 2013.
Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off and check the box next to Hyper-V and install it:

Nearly all my SharePoint 2013 development are done on my trusty Lenovo Thinkpad T410S which has a Core I5 (first gen) and is thus limited to 8gb ram but has a sweet SSD which helps a lot since everything is using the disk simulatenously.
For development purpose, it's a all in one server (domain controller, SQL Server, SharePoint Farm) running Windows Server ...

In addition to traditional web parts still being supported (in either full-trust or sandboxed solutions) as Simon mentions, you can develop new app parts in an app for SharePoint 2013.
An app part is like a web part, and in fact is also made available to users in a host web's web part gallery. Users add app parts to pages the same way they would add web ...

When you add a user / group in SharePoint, you should see "Send an email invitation" check box to control whether or not send the welcome e-mail to the new users.
You could clear that check box and it should fix your problem.
Also, there are some situations when "Send an email invitation" is hidden.
I checked dialog's code-behind by reflector and find ...

Microsoft tries to make SharePoint understandable for all users.
So SharePoint is simplified into three concepts:
People, All the social stuff and permissions
Themes, The look and feel, branding
Apps, Everything else
The apps you create don't get the same integration into the "Host Web" as list/document libraries, but that's in fact to keep things ...

To add to Hugh's answer, almost anything you can do in VS 2010 for SP10 works in SP13 (event receivers, web parts, etc.), but nothing new, or not much of the new features work in VS2010 because much of them are new templates and data techniques such as the app model, remote event receivers, etc.
The App model requires the ability to do remote development ...

I solved my problem
Read file as an readAsArrayBuffer(file)
pass that file.target.result as buffer in _arrayBufferToBase64
function _arrayBufferToBase64(buffer) {
var binary = ''
var bytes = new Uint8Array(buffer)
var len = bytes.byteLength;
for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
binary += String.fromCharCode(bytes[i])
}
return binary;
}

You may extend the SharePoint Web application with FBA, to create an extranet-facing access point to provide access to the partners. Extending an existing SharePoint Web application provides a separate IIS Web site and you can group external users into a different security domain than internal users.
This approach makes it easier to manage different ...

Probably one should use references from Microsoft itself on MS products.
So, Microsoft source tells:
"Workflow form changed from InfoPath form to aspx form
For a workflow based on SharePoint Designer 2013 (WF4) and Windows Azure Workflow, SharePoint creates aspx forms instead of InfoPath forms that were created by SharePoint Designer 2010 (WF3.5) ...

The only 'fixed' information we know about dates at this point (early March) is that there will be a beta version of Office 15 and its companion software (SharePoint 15, Lync 15, etc) 'this summer'. We do not know anything beyond that, if 'knowing' is defined as what Microsoft has published. 'This summer' can technically mean anything up to and including ...

Office 365 only supports Sandboxed Solutions and SharePoint 2013 Apps in the next public release.
In order to get your webparts running on Office365 you've to provide them as a Sandboxed Solution.
If you would see your webparts as part of the new SharePoint Store you have to create them as SharePoint Apps. Only Apps can be deployed to the SharePoint 2013 ...

Before you can deploy a SharePoint hosted app to your SharePoint Preview development environment you have to configure an isolated app domain.

Don't remove the PlaceHolders from MasterPage, bad bad practice! As they are used by SharePoint internally to place content accordingly on the pages...

Yes, there are fundamental differences between SharePoint-hosted and cloud-hosted apps.
A SharePoint-hosted app may provision basic resources into its app web such as HTML/CSS/JS files, site column/content type/list definitions, etc. Under no circumstances can server-side code run within a SharePoint-hosted app.
You can run server-side code in a ...

Lists in the app web are good for storing instance-specific app configuration data since a single app may have many instantiations across a farm.
Also, apps will always have full control over their app web so they are guaranteed to be able to read from, write to, and delete list items on a list in the app web. If a list were in the host web and the app ...

I don't think you can create two same web templates in different languages, as web languages are set on web application level and I also think what you want isn't possible in earlier version of SharePoint except SharePoint 2013.
However there is something new in SharePoint 2013 known as Machine Translation Services in SharePoint 2013 which can be used to ...

The "/_layouts/15/settings.aspx" has a user control "~/_controltemplates/15/TopNavBar.ascx" included in top navigation and it will hard code a top navigation, override the one you have set in the master page. Like this:

When you select one of those page layouts in your dropdown then you fetch that value by a postback and create a new page in your site based on that page layout.
