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)
- WMV (WMV Video)
If you've ever wanted to build an application that responds to your voice, this video covers the basics.

Possibly my favourite application that uses the current speech API has to be valve software's face poser technology for half life 2.
I'm rather disappointed it still needs the old recognizers. When are we going to see some new recognizers, surely there's been advances there too?
Did he say that you can flash your Audiovox SMT 5600 to the new Windows Mobile 5? Is this something that only Microsoft employees will be able to do, or will Cingular support the same thing?
>> Does that mean those of us the are using Windows Mobile 2003 SE should also be able to get it?
Yep, the VoiceCommand application works on WM 03. Take a look at this page for details: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/voicecommand/default.mspx
>> Any comparison with MS Speech Server 2004?
When I dialed 0 and asked for Robert Scoble, it was running on Speech Server.
>> I spy with my little eye, something beginning with ipod
Yep. You caught me. A 40GB 4G.
Arrg. After downloading the trial from handango I install it on to my desktop pc and plug my phone in, ActiveSync says there is no supported device connected.
When I asked if it was supported for Windows Mobile 2003 I meant for my Smart phone (Audiovox SMT 5600 (well, the uk equivelent anyway)).

Yes, WAY TOO MANY TIMES. I work with computers a lot, its a passion and a hobby; hopefully a job sometime soon. When i want to re-install windows I DONT WANT TO HAVE TO TALK TO A COMPUTER especially when it has to give me a tech support person that doesnt know what theyre talking about and ask the same questions and the same routine.
"Hello, thank you for calling microsoft, how may i help you today"
" Im trying to activate my copy of windows again"
"Ok very well, we will start by you reading the first six digits from the product ID screen."
"One moment while i generate a new key. Is this the first time you are activating your product."
"No."
" May I ask why you are reactivating today"
*in a quite annoyed voice* "Because my windows install has reached its half live, and the WPA said call you"
"Do you have this version of windows installed on any other computer"
"Not this copy, not this key, but yes the other computer is using windows xp" *Really annoyed"
"Ok, very well here is your new instalation Id, six digits in a box, the cursor is self tabbing, and I will read the digits 3 digits at atime. Place your cursor in box A and tell me when you are ready"
"Ive been ready since i called"
*Reads the numbers* "Now press next, now press finish your product is now activated, thank you for calling Microsoft."
Even if you call and tell them you have done this many times before, they still give u the same speech. WTH.
For those who like a good laugh
