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)

I made a couple of mistakes in the demos. Here are explanations:
1. When I was saving the Word document after modifying the XML file, Winzip was saving the file without subdirectory information, so it didn't actually update the file I edited (that's the error message it was popping up which I kept closing). If Winzip had actually saved the file correctly, it would have worked.
2. When I recorded the macro and attached it to a toolbar, I recorded the macro into Normal.dot, but attached the toolbar to the current document. When I moved it to the other computer and clicked the button there, it was finding and running another "Macro1" on the Normal.dotm on that computer, which I had created while practicing the demo. So the fact that the button appears to do something different on the other computer is technically correct
Weird, it's happening here too. I'll try to get that fixed.
EDIT: This appears to be more complicated than originally thought. No fix in sight for the next few hours. Sorry for the inconvenience.

From what I understand after watching this if I want to dynamically customize the toolbar from code I have to pass XML?
XML is good for somethings but this is bad.... I want to be able to work directly with objects from code, not have to construct some bizarre XML string just to add a button to the toolbar!
