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…”

• WMV (WMV Video)
• MP3 (Audio only)
• MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
• Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)

Identity is a rapidly evolving field. From WS-Federation, CardSpace, and SAML to OAuth and OpenID, the identity landscape has been in considerable flux over the last few years. There are many identity providers competing to represent your users, such as Google Accounts, Windows Live ID, and Facebook Connect. Add to that mix intermediaries like JanRain's RPX and the Microsoft Federation Gateway, and mix in the various APIs you can use in your code, and things can get really confusing, really fast. This talk will help you sort out identity technologies, giving you ideas as to where they might fit in your web application, and how you can protect yourself from the churn that will invariably come in the next few years.
