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)
This demo shows the Windows CardSpace user experience in IE7 and FireFox. It only takes a minute* so anyone can see what's involved without having to become a world expert in Identity (although you may be tempted). This is a technology that everyone can,
and will, benefit from.
* I overran by 15 seconds. If you use the Fast Play Speed in Windows Media Player you can get it down to about 50 seconds!

How would this work for something like hotmail where I might be logging in from a web cafe? Is that model covered by cardspace?
Today, if you want to use a card on another machine you have to move it there by exporting and importing.
Alternatively, you could use a different card but associate it with the same account at the website. Our samples on http://cardspace.netfx3.com show how websites can easily allow this and it is also a very useful feature for handling revocation and different user contexts. For example, I might want to use an employer card *and* a personal card to access, say, fidelity.com. In one context I'm seeing what my employer is paying into my 401K and in the other I'm looking at my overall retirement fund (imagine I change employer).
In the future we'll have support for cards and token generation on devices such as smart cards and phones - Novell and Microsoft have already demostrated prototypes. This enables secure roaming scenarios where I can login using a kiosk machine when on vacation carrying nothing more than my phone and without having to worry about key loggers since all that passes through the compromised Internet Cafe machine is an encrypted token with a limited lifetime.
This raises a few immediate questions:
I'm new to Cardspace but the general idea has been around for a while. Being able to associate a card with multiple sites is incredible improvement and has the potential to greatly enhance and enrich the end-user experience. Think of the potential possibilities; perhaps where you change your card info and your profile is updated across all sites that card is associated with?
Ive been in the MS camp since i started developing about 10 years ago but I also have to wonder if it will fly with the end users based on the fact that most of the "big" web apps these days are social sites and mostly written in php.
Will the end users be bothered using a card for xyz site when they still have to use traditional authentication methods for facebook etc.
On the flipside i think b2b apps will benefit greatly as there has always been issues with companies wanting integrated authentication with SAAS type sites. Cardspace will make overcoming this problem much easier.

The simplest ways to record CardSpace for a screencast are to use a virtual machine or terminal services (aka Remote Desktop).

User1: Bharath Reddy is holding vasireddybharath on some site lets say www.xyz.com
User2: Ramesh is holding same vasireddybharath username on some other site lets say www.zyx.com
Then what will happen?. Is the cards unique worldwide taking considering all the sites?.
Thanks & Regards
