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)
Robert Hess has been around Microsoft for a long time (16 years at last count). You've probably seen Robert before, since he hosts the
.NET show on MSDN.
But there are a few other things that you might not know about Robert. For one, he's the author of the
DrinkBoy Web site where he shares all sorts information about the art of making cocktails.
Second, he runs a group of Longhorn evangelists here at Microsoft that build a variety of applications -- his team built the demos that were used on stage during keynotes at the PDC.
Anyway, he invited us to
his favorite cafe/bar in Seattle to talk tech, Microsoft history, and more (the rest of his conversation will come up over the next week or so).
Since he helped form the evangelism team here at Microsoft, we wondered how he'd answer the question of "what is an evangelist?"

Let me try again..
Nope, nothing..
Anyway.. Great show man! Keep it up
Though at times, it must be a bit frustrating doing what he does. I've seen episodes in which he rephrases the questions to his guests ten times over and he gets answers that are completely off the mark. The worst part is that these guys should have no difficulty answering them as the questions revolve around the projects they are working on.
Anywho, aside from the occasional hiccup in his speech, I'd say Robert expresses himself really well and generally does a very good job of being concise.
Keep up the good work.
