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…”
- High Quality WMV (PC, Xbox, MCE)
- MP3 (Audio only)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
User Experience is important at Microsoft. One place where UX really shines is in Visual Studio, and the tooling and templates for Silverlight.
In September, I had the pleasure of catching up with Tsitsi Gora, UX designer at Microsoft. We discussed what it's like to be a designer in developer division, what she's done for the products, and her recommendations for people interested in getting into the field.

Great advice. I'm a wannabe UX Designer and have been looking for my "in" connection for that occupation. I really want to help HCI along to the point where tasks become extremely simplistic and almost thought less. Like tying your shoe. It needs to be done, but only requires a little bit of hand coordination.
Good video. The typing in the background was annoying, though.
