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…”
Recently, Microsoft announced a new type of licensing model aimed at making it much easier, therefore safer from a legal point of view, for developers to implement specs without having to spend a lot of time understanding complex license agreements and
obscure legalese, then signing and faxing Microsoft legal documents in order to leverage a specification.
This new breed of simple licensing model is called the Open Specification Promise (OSP). Here, we chat with the minds behind OSP: Jean Paoli, co-creator of XML and General Manager of Interoperability & XML Architecture, Tom Robertson, General Manager of IP and Corportate Standards Strategy, and Amy Marasco, General Manager of Standards Strategy. Want to to understand what OSP is and why we created it? Tune in and let the the folks who thought it up explain it to you.

Also, why did you not just use one of your new OSS licenses instead of this? That was not really answered in the video AFAICT. TIA
And I can-t wait for the Novell/Linux-Deal-video, explaining me, why RedHat-using companies sleep suddenly uncomfortable.
BTW: guy-s, haven-t seen the video being excited? Classy comments.
