A diferença que o C# 5.0 faz com o async/await
A melhor forma de ver a grande diferença que o async faz é usando exemplos. Saindo de um código não só maior, mas muito mais complicado, com callbacks, tratamento de contexto e thread de execução, tratamento de erros aninhados com os callbacks, pra um código simples, como se fosse um código síncrono comum.
