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…”

Jossef Goldberg and Jaime Rodriguez discuss the status of Client Profile in .NET 4 and VS2010 beta 2. 

Client profile is a subset of the full .NET framework that includes only the assemblies needed for desktop client applications; the subset decreases download size and improves install time of the framework, improving the overall deployment experience.

    It is good to find out that we do finally have a two tier .NET framework.. I know a lot of people that said that it would never happen, but why should every windows machine have workflow foundation/wcf/asp.net etc?

     

    On a brand new Windows 7 machine, that most likey will come with .NET 3.5, will the client profile remove this or will they run side by side?

  • Jaime RodriguezJaime Rodriguez jaimer

    Hi vesuvius,

    Yes, Windows 7 comes with .NET 3.5 SP1. .NET 4 will work side-by-side, so it will leave your .NET 3.5 Sp1 alone.  From there on, you get .NET client profile + full as two skus.

     

    Cheers,

    Okay, correct me if I'm wrong here:

     

    So if I want to write an app that uses HttpUtility.HtmlEncode or UrlEncode, the user needs to install the full framework, or I need to roll my own.

     

    A lot of users will be installing .NET twice per version. I can already hear tens of thousands of people screaming "but I thought I already installed .NET 4".

     

    I honestly fail to see how this is a good thing. More versions of .NET for embedded/mobile OSes would be nice, but more versions for Windows just seems silly.
