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)
- MP3 (Audio only)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
A key component of any cloud computing offering is durable storage. Windows Azure provides 3 forms of durable storage: tables, blobs, and queues. Join me as we explore the highlights of these 3 important implementations.

How do i set the storage and bandwidth limit on Azure for deployed application?
@jigneshpandya - In general, you don't set limits. That is, you have some limits like 100TB of total storage (blobs, tables, queues) per storage account (up to 5 accounts by default). Are you asking something else?
I just viewed the video on concurrency, and I was puzzled by the "golden ticket" approach to avoiding concurrency issues. If obtaining the golden ticket from the golden ticket queue is a requirement to process the messages in the request queue, then what is the point of having multiple instances of the worker role other than for fault tolerance? It seem as though this paradigm ensures that only one worker role is processing something at any given time, so in terms of processing time for all messages in the queue, this would be far less efficient than having just one instance of the worker role process.
The whole issue with concurrency is to make sure that only one instance is processing the work. The 'golden ticket' approach does not apply to work that can be done in parallel. You would only use that approach when you wanted to ensure that something was done once and only once in an otherwise parallel environment. Make sense?
Good video by the sound is just too quiet even when speaker sound it up all the way.
Good description, Thank you
Hi there, anyone know if it's even worth contemplating writing a layer for Umbraco which will support Windows Azure Storage?
I don't suppose there's some "Storage Provider" that i can override?! I know it's a long shot, but my goal is to utilise Umbraco inside a .NET 4 application in the Azure cloud.
thanks,
I'm use Chrome, the best video resolutions
