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)
- MP3 (Audio only)
- WMV (WMV Video)
In this video, you'll see demos of some unique ways to alter the search experience including
- Collaborative Search - searching and annotating with multiple people
- Co-Search - multiple people using the same computer with multiple mice and mobile phones for input devices
- Search Bar - Enables a single person to keep track of their search results

Is there any chance of an email registration to let us know when it is released as this page does not have it?
I am not so sure about the multi user search on one computer though and the search bar could be useful but I reserve judgement on it.
The only thing that is keeping me from switching to Live search is the lack of a "Suggest" feature like Google has http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en
This is such a killer feature for me that there needs to be a really good feature to drive it off. I wonder if the Search together is restricted to Live - I suppose it must be.
Good question, I emailed Merrie and here's the response:
SearchTogether will be available as a free download sometime soon – the current plan is by the end of March, although it could be as late as April.
SearchTogether runs in the IE7 browser, but users can choose whether to select Live, Yahoo!, or Google as their default search engine.
