I'm just quoting this because it helped me to crystallize what I felt was the most significant difference between
3e and
4e:
Interaction in combat is more tightly defined. Interaction outside of combat is more loosely defined.
Interaction outside of combat (skill challenges, rituals, etc.) is governed more by guidelines than a hard set of rules.
