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…”
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- WMV (WMV Video)
By now, most of you know Tim Sneath, a technical evangelist in DPE (The organization in which Channel 9 resides) as Dr Sneath. There's a reason we call him doctor. He knows a LOT about Windows and other Microsoft
technologies. So, you've seen his interviews for Channel 9. Now, as part of
Vista Week on Channel 9, Dr Sneath becomes interviewee and answers some semi-tough (but nice) questions about Vista, the latest and greatest OS from Microsoft. Enjoy!

Tim, it's good to see you on the other side of the camera. There's been a lot of videos and demos regarding WPF and the like, but for Vista it would be nice to see some of these "shell" layer capabilities highlighted, either in a demo application or by a third party that has used some of these architecture highlights. You could probably do a 30 minute video with a demo application that shows ALL of the archictecture extensibility. This would really help developers out there sell their "vision" of creating a truly Vista exploitive application.
I remember back then I had a game which was turn based, and you could play via e-mail! VIA E-MAIL! In 1994! Those were the days.
How did you do e-mail on windows 3.1 anyway?
Loving Vista BTW.
Here's a question, why do PCs which are supposed to take better advantage of new technologies tend to perform worse on old technologies?
Great to see Tim switch his position from behind the camera to the front of the camera. I'm defintively going to enjoy this video.
I remember Kung Fu Battlemail which was basically a kung fu tournament where you posted moves via e-mail, and Quest, which was basically a MMORPG when MMORPG's didn't exist yet. You sent in a 'command card' via mail (mail! As in, snail!) and after a week you'd get a buch of papers with results back, showing a map of where your party was, what monsters and towns were near, how battles went, and all that. It was awesome. Later you could send in your moves via e-mail, which was cheaper, but somehow lost some of the charm.
Oh, Play By Mail....
But of course - you can find a softcopy version here:

Thank you
I have been working in both Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro and this is was the first time I rendered with a Intel Dual Core computer.
What would normally take at least several hours of rendering time took less than five minutes.
I thought something went wrong.
You nailed it with your comment on rendering and the benefits of multi-core computers.
