What has changed for PowerPivot for Excel 2013?

Question

I am running Office 2010, current version of Powerpivot, but with Excel 2013 Preview, it comes with a different version and if I accept the add-on, it "upgrades" my workbook.

So, Q1 - What is new in this version?

Q2. Can I run PowerPivot for Excel 2010 AND Powerpivot for Excel 2013 concurrently as I want to make sure I can access my current data and older files?
