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)
Developers are being asked to create more secure code. The next version of Visual C++, code-named Whidbey, will introduce several new security-protection capabilities. Here Scott Currie, Scott Currie, program manager of Visual C++ discusses the new security-focused
changes.

Also, real C++ programmers don't use C APIs anyway, I mean, who needs scanf and char* when you've got std::cin and std::string (both of which are safe btw)?
Also, it's not exactly clear to me what's so new about this stack buffer overrun protection... VS.NET 2003 does that too. Sure, I assume you've optimised it more, but is there anything really completely totally new added to it? That didn't become very clear from the video to me.
Good idea.
It's probably a matter of taste, but I prefer the C++ way whenever there is one anyway.
I'm thinking of algorithms like
