How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
This is it! The 1000th video posted to Channel 9 and what more fitting than a video covering “WPF/E”, a new way to video on the web.
Ernie Booth and Laurence Moroney visited Joe Stegman, lead PM for “WPF/E” and discussed issues such as the MAC on his desk, “WPF/E”, the fountain outside his window, and of course “WPF/E”. We also experimented with a new product placement technology in this movie. See if you can spot it….

(The Mac and SDK versions have links at the bottom of the page.)
What about "Miss Universe"?
I guess Win/Mac cover about 99% of the desktop market, so it's almost everywhere. But maybe the new ally Novell volunteers to contribute a Linux version at some point in the future.
I've tried a few times, but it just keeps saying "The page cannot be found".
I've downloaded the WPF/E CTP for Windows, and that works fine. Just unable to download the SDK.
Nevermind, it works now!
I've been wondering if you guys were going to enable XAML for web application development. This is awesome! I can't wait to start playing with it. The Firefox and Mac support make it 100% more likely for adoption than ActiveX was.
Great video, tool, and overall vision! Played with it yesterday a lot. Seems to work in all the advertised environemnts but just curious on a number of things.
1) MMS: WPFE does not seem to support that protocol at all. I saw all the video sample you did but I guess this technology does not work for streaming.
2) Controls: There appear to be no controls whatsoever in WPFE; meaning everything has to be done from scratch everytime. I mean there isn't even a textbox! What's up with that? Will it change? I mean it's great and all as far an animation but that puts this technology right down there with the first version of Flash! Furthermore, there are a lot of us who love the web but HATE javascript. Even though you did a great job of standardizing, I still want my c# especially if i need complex coding to get any work done.
3) .NET integration: is this a myth or will we see a lightwieght runtime incorporated into WPFE? In the Mike Harsh video he used C# to change opacity if I remember correctly. has this been abandoned or is it still in play. Also, will this be a strictly windows technology (the CLR Integration aspect) or are you planning to package a runtime for MAC as well.
Sadly I cannot setup a separate computer for this.
This is really cool. I can't wait until this truly works everywhere and I can start to throw away all of my HTML/JavaScript knowledge.
Hi DeigoV, the Web Application Projects add in is available here:

According to a blog post by Scott Guthrie, the managed runtime still to come.
"We'll also be providing "WPF/E" integration with .NET managed code next year."
In the meantime, take a look at the following post by Nikhil Kothari - http://www.nikhilk.net/WPFEAndScriptSharp.aspx
We will have support for these, we didn't have time to do that in our current CTP.
I think if you had ever tried to use Flash for any type of serious work involving data access and display as opposed to strictly static/visual presentation you would definitely not be referring to Flash as "perfectly mature and viable."
-this of course will be highly advantageous to WPF/E - becuase anyone that has flash and an ECMAscript capable browser will be able to eXperience extended Flash browsing....
shame they are both proprietry and SVG isn't taking off as it should!

Realistic Windows Vista simulation. And yes! it has even integrated (simulated of course) Windows Media Player.
Unfortunately, it is in Slovenian language, without translation, but you can get the feeling anyway... icons are quite self-explanatory.
Probably the first OS-like web site with WPF/E technology.
Thanks

This looks really interesting,

thanks,
Duncan
