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)

I would like to see more tours in the buildings where Chris Sells (and Scoble behind the camera?) just goes down the hall, talk with some people, let them explain what they are doing, sit in someone else's chair, make jokes, disturb a meeting. Actually, this would be cool: attend a meeting with the Longhorn team. I want to see and hear how such a meeting goes.
Videos from the Office team, Flight Simulator team or DirectX/XNA team would be cool too.
4-10 minutes per clip where there's not just a monologue but actual conversation and some background details of the stuff being talked about would make these more interesting.
A possible arrangement would be to organize the videos by person/team instead of subject. Then when you've watched a whole interview, there would be the different subjects talked listed under the particular interview node.
Something like:
+ Tablet PC Team / Robert Williams (Watch the whole interview)
-+ Subject 1 talked during the interview
--+ Reply 1
--+ Reply 2
-+ Subject 2 talked during the interview
--+ Reply 1
--+ Reply 2
Also the videos could be segmented so that if someone does not care to watch the person introduce himself / talk background / history stuff, one could skip those segments..
Of course I see that this would require lot of coding, but hey, you have .NET - it's a days job!
Edit: With the subjects etc separated in the DB, you could of course search and sort by subjects too. Clickin on the subject would load the whole interview but automatically seek to the particular point in the video. Cool?
And on Monday Anders Hejlsberg gives us a tour of the museum.
I will start making the videos longer too.
Attending meetings is harder.
We're getting over to see the Xbox Live team soon. Flight Simulator would be fun too.
Is Anderson as cool & funny as Sells?
OMG That's my Dad!!!! Lol! He doesn't do Tablet anymore he's go a new super cool project now
