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)

Based on your awesome screencast and article by Stephen toub i have created a Preview Handler for photoshop
Check it here
http://www.codeproject.com/vista/PhotoshopPreviewHandler.asp
Let me know what you think
updated link
Alternativelly, just use the source code since you downloaded it for your article, right?
Can you tell me which low level Vista API are used/involved in Preview Handlers or Preview Handler framework .
Rajesh
I got it , New Shell Interfaces for Windows Vista
Added that information in the article also
BTW , Getting great feedback about the preview handler, wasn't possible without your screen cast and your blog, Thanks again
Oh now I see... Your question was generic rather than specific to this post... for more on Vista-only APIs, see my blog post here:

That was awesome
Specifically the powerpoint you have provided is very informative , "to the point" and very impressive too
Thanks
I haven't tried it but in theory you could simulate what the shell does in your app. Your starting point are the COM Interfaces that you must implement for the preview handler (as per the msdn mag article).
Good luck!
Cheers
Daniel

Built for Orcas B2, but he told me most of the tools also work in VS2005.
