The UMPC Media Experience takes one fat leap forward!

Download

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…”

• High Quality WMV (PC, Xbox, MCE)
• MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
• Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
• WMV (WMV Video)

The application launcher that came with the first UMPCs last year was quick and easy to use, but once you made your choice the user interface became decidedly less, “fat-finger-friendly.” Thankfully people like Jeremy White and Emily Rimas on the UMPC development team have been hard at work at extending the comfort of using your fingers to move around the device.

The media experience on a UMPC has improved dramatically. Listening to music, displaying photo slideshows, and watching videos are all now extremely fat-finger-friendly. The scroll bars, window buttons, and general navigation are also easier to manipulate sans stylus. In addition, the team worked with the kids who build Microsoft Reader in order to make reading digital books easier. Not only is the UMPC grown into a more capable media device, but now it runs Vista too!
