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…”
- WMV (WMV Video)
Chris Sells, an MSDN program manager who runs the
Longhorn Developer Center, takes us on a tour of MSDN's offices. You too can jump into one of Sara Williams' meetings, walk down the hall and learn all sorts of interesting things that people at MSDN are working
on. Even jump into a meeting with MVPs. Some other things that Chris does?
He blogs and keeps a site
about the interviewing process here at Microsoft.

Bug or feature?
Here's a close-up for you Frankie from a recent Moblog Entry. Personally, I drink the blue water.
Seriously guys.. you can't keep a camera on for more than two minutes without a Blue Screen of death!
Edit: Got one when I posted this reply even. Wierd stuff is going down.
/Lars.
Edit: I got one too, sweet.
Do you wear that paper bag hat while your coding or is it just for formal events?
w00t! Got any open offices over there that need filling?
We've got a few job openings right now, but we're short on office space. So I guess the answer to your question is technically "no." But if you're interested in a job with MSDN (even if you do have to share an office) check out the Microsoft Careers site for MSDN openings.
We're now logging these exceptions. Next time it happens we'll be able to identify the bugger and fix it. Thanks for your patience.
Keep on posting,
Charles
I just checked out the SDE job posting, and one of the requirements is:
"Familiarity with Microsoft tools and processes: CoreXt, Source Depot, Product Studio"
These sound like internal tools at Microsoft (I can't find any references on the web), so would a job posting like this basically be open only to existing or ex Microsoft employees? Is there any point in applying for someone outside of Microsoft who wouldn't have had any chance to get this experience? (assuming they are internal tools)
Good stuff guys.
Those are internal tools, and normally there's a bit more explanation. Instead of talking about those specfic tools, the description should probably have said something like:
Familiarity with tools used for large-team software development, including build systems, source control systems, and bug tracking systems. Experience with Microsoft tools and processes (such as CoreXt, Source Depot, and Product Studio) a plus.
Loved the video! It was fun and it was great to see the people that I visit their work, everytime I open my browser (my default page is set to MSDN)!
More please.
Thanks
great video, can it be downloaded as a wmv or similar ?

Two other notes...
Kudos should be said to the person who is interviewing/following Chris, as well.
Most times, you get some monotone guy talking towards the camera with not much interaction from the guys behind the camera or if there is any kind of interaction it tends to be of some generic question like "so, what do you think about so and so..." which leaves the person being interviewed (or followed in this instance) hanging out there trying to come up with interesting things to say! This time around, both Chris and the person who is following him are interesting and have awesome sense of humor and good banter (for lack of better word) which is what made this video fun to watch.
Also, can you tell how much we envy you Microsoft guys/gals for working there at MSFT? That’s probably why I’ve watched this video couple of times, already.
Thank you
I was always envious of Microsoft employees too. It is a great place to work.
I'd love to see more. Maybe what actually goes on during a meeting to see how they talk about the topics, what they take into consideration for the topic, how these ideas are formed and put into the hands of us, if possible.
I would understand if that was not possible though, due to many issues and red tapes that might need to be crossed.
A very cool video indeed ! We would love to see more such videos involving people/places where the real action takes place.
Ok, how smart do I need to be to work at Microsoft? I want a job there. That is my goal. Now to learn everything about everything so that I can pass the interview process...
Hope to see more similar videos soon!
It depends on what job you want to do.
That's where I'd start. What job would make you happy?
Great work and I am looking forward to see more vid from channel 9,
hey, how about introduce gals into channel 9 team
