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)
Sometimes problems occur (system or application level exceptions happen, applications might crash, hard disks fail) in complicated systems like modern personal computers.
In Vista, the system is capable of understanding a wide variety of problems as they occur and, in many cases, fix them without disrupting the user. In certain cases, the system is unable to automatically repair a given problem so Vista will inform the user of actions to take to solve the problem.
Even for hardware critical failures like a hard disk crash, Vista will help the user understand the problem and guide them through a set of steps to get to a working solution (in the case of hard disk failure, obviously the solution is back your data up! Vista will actually run you through a helpful backup "wizard" in this case, but you'll need to get some hardware to store your data...).
Meet Melur Raghuraman, Development Manager, Matthew Kerner, Lead PM, and Jeff Meng, Development Lead. These are some of the people responsible for making Vista our most reliable OS to date. They are members of the Windows Reliability team.
You will meet more of the Reliabiliy People as Vista Week continues here on Channel 9.

Now if only I could get my parent's PC to forward on errors to me I could tell them remotely what was likely to be wrong with it. (Plus that'd be useful for sysadmins, but then can ask for it themselves.)
What would make it better (slicker) in your opinion? The team is listening.....
