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…”
- High Quality WMV (PC, Xbox, MCE)
- MP3 (Audio only)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)

Curious to see if Office Live Small Business (OLSB) will be moving over to Microsoft Online Services. OLSB seemed to get lost/pushed down in priority once OL Workspace Beta hit the scene. Now that OL Workspace will be migrated into SkyDrive, perhaps it will leave Office Live to serve small business needs better. Then again, not everything should have "Live" tacked on as a service name. Considering that at its core, its SharePoint and doesn't fall under the Office brand anymore, why not let Microsoft Online Services manage it and give it some advertising love. Very small businesses, like my own, jumped onto OLSB because it offered an attractive all-in-one feature set:
I'm generally pleased with our customized web site and email. It was a disappointment to see that 3rd party add-ons/customization never materialized like I believe was the original plan. Also, Contact Manager never interfaced with Outlook BCM the way I thought/hoped it would. So my overall rating is mixed.
Microsoft Online has some issues of its own if it want to target this market segment. Chief among them is a site that is not easily discovered and has a look-n-feel that might make enterprise feel at home...not small businesses though. So if Microsoft were to move OLSB, these issues will need to be addressed.
Hi USArcher. Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad to hear that OLSB is generally working well for you. I work on the Microsoft Online Services team, building Community, coordinating these Executive Videos, weekly webinars, blog posts, etc. I can't comment on future plans for Microsoft Online Services, but I do pass along customer feedback for consideration by the product team.
If you'd like to find out more about what's going on with Microsoft Online Services, here are some links to our social media sites.
Thanks again for your feedback.
