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)
Welcome to Vista Week on Channel 9. For 9 days (that's one Channel 9 week) we will be focusing our content on the newest general purpose operating system from Microsoft, Windows Vista. Windows Vista was designed from the ground up with the user in mind.
From reliability, performance, security, networking to the shell, Vista is truly our most user-centric OS to date. Vista Week on Channel 9 aims to address this claim by digging into the details behind it.
Here, Michael Wallent, General Manager and long time WPF team lead who also happens to be extremely passionate about Vista, talks with us about Vista from a developer perspective (describing what makes Vista appealing to developers and why). Of course, developers
are also users and Vista is a highly tuned user-centric OS to the nth degree, so Michael and Charles wax on this as well. Enjoy!
Be sure to catch 10's Vista Week. Great stuff!

I like how he just speaks all the time!!
Make RTM-quality extensions for WCF and WPF that work on Visual Studio 2005.
Otherwise, expect a significant chunk of the Microsoft developer community to look at you sheepishly because they don't have budget to drop thousands of dollars on another Visual Studio edition less than two years after they did so for Visual Studio 2005.
It will take time to penetrate the market, just like XP...
Great to hear you are thinking about Vista when writing your current applications! Keep it up! Also, you can make your apps sing on Vista by taking advantage of all the new APIs. If you do network work, you will love the new networking APIs in Vista. This will be covered to some extent as part of Vista Week here on C9.
I'd be very interested to check out the new Networking API's as a lot of my apps use Winsock 2 API's for communication using native c++. In the past I've always created wrapper classes for the lower level comms stuff so it would be cool to check these out.
Are these API's documented in the latest Vista SDK? - because I tried to download this, ran setup.exe and it was complaining about some sdksetup.cab file being missing!? - It could be just me, not sure if anyone else had this prob.
We cover some interesting stuff, at a high level.
Stay tuned,
C
Here is a video of that cure cancer app Michael spoke of.
Tim Huckaby from Interknowlogy built this cool XAML app for the Scripps Institute.
