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.

Microsoft Research Cambridge turned 10 years old last week. Happy birthday MSRC! I was lucky enough to have been there and was able to conduct
several interviews with some of the many unusually intelligent and passionate folks who think about the future of computing and the role computation plays in every aspect of our lives (from new interactive devices that promise to make the business of home
life more interesting and less stressful, tools and methodologies that will help Microsoft quickly respond to industry changes (can you say many core?) to understanding, via accurate modeling, incredibly complex biological and ecological systems).
In this interview, I sit down with Andrew Herbert, Distinguished Engineer and Managing Director of MSR Cambridge. Andrew, an OS guy at heart, manages over one hundred researchers, who, by definition, are unmanageable - that is, you can't tell a researcher what to do; you can only guide them in the right direction and ensure that they do not get too distracted from their science.
Tune in and learn about Andrew's past, the history of MSR Cambridge, important research areas in computation for the next 10 years, and what life is like at MSR for scientists.

Nothing to do with virtualization... It was a mention of something else (far less intriguing, in fact).
