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)
What happens within Microsoft when a Windows Vista or Longhorn Server daily build is ready? Thousands of machines spin up an insane stress test that sucks up all available memory and handles and then pushes the machine to the limits with an intensive set
of feature stress routines.
This is an incredibly tough test that helps us find obscure race condition bugs and assess the overall robustness of the operating system.

And you can always plug in like 6 usb cards into all the nice PCI slots. Thats another 762 usb slots!
Great interview... and oh what I'd give to be able to give that system a spin... if for no other reason then to run seti@home on a thousand PC's at a time.
One wonders if this tool could ever see the light of day for use by non-msft devs on slightly smaller projects.
Also before I forget... Go (home) Saints!
But good topic...
Automated stress testing of Office apps would be interesting to learn about like Word, Excel and Visual Studio, etc.
Charles,
You need to work on your camera moves. Slow down. You fly left to right and up and down. Just giving constructive criticism.
Great interview, thanks for the video
