Another successful Technology Preview has graduated from Autodesk Labs. Project Spark has been a technology preview since August 30, 2011 gathering your feedback you sent in and now has become Autodesk Revit LT 2013.
Revit LT is a simplified 3D building information modeling (BIM) solution. Using Project Spark aka Revit LT, building professionals can create designs efficiently with real-world building objects, produce more reliable documentation faster, and share files with consultants using Revit or AutoCAD-based products.
Revit LT should be available within a month for download of the trial or purchase separately or in the AutoCAD Revit LT Suite 2013 suite with AutoCAD LT.
Update: The old Project Spark Technology Preview (pre-Revit LT) is still available on Autodesk Labs at:

Keep checking our our posted technology previews on Autodesk Labs, and provide your feedback to make more technology previews graduate to full Autodesk products you like. Your feedback is vital to whether the previews graduate, or are retired. There are many projects posted each month so check Autodesk Labs often. If you have never been there, please take a minute and see all the FREE preview technologies now available, perhaps one may be what you have been looking for to help and speed your design and visualization workflows.

Thank you for all your feedback on Project Spark and playing a critical role in it graduating and becoming a real Autodesk BIM product.

What is the list of features from the full Revit version that are not included in Revit LT?
Alfredo,
There is no list avaiable. I would encourage you to wait and see the final Revit LT product for all changes.
Here is a list from Autodesk: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/compare/index?siteID=123112&id=20336963
Now I think there should be a super-LT version, both of Revit and of Inventor. Make them free and kid-oriented – a virtual erector-set. (Yeah, I’m that old.)
Let kids learn about modeling & materials, architecture & invention, and make them Autodesk fans from the start.
Earl, isn’t that what http://www.123dapp.com/ is about?
It’s a non starter for anyone doing complex forms or collaborative work but it would be handful for someone working solo in residential or small commercial market.
The consumer market seems to be Autodesk’s main focus these days. I hope there are some engineers in the skunk works pushing the commercial/enterprise products like AutoCAD, Revit, Maya & Max into the cloud. AutoCAD WS would indicate that there are.
