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)
Adam Nathan is giving a talk at the PDC on Thursday about making an application "light up" on Windows Vista. To prepare for the talk he created
WinFXHearts.com. Very cool version of the Internet Hearts game. Here we visit his office to get a good look at his application and what developers can do with Windows Presentation Foundation (formerly known as Avalon).

What was the program, the one that said "What was that?" is it a speech recognition app for vista?
You're going to have to get someone to re-do Spider now, my mum's got high expectations now!!!
Great stuff.
WTFWPF?!!You're taking an uber-cool piece of technology, with a pretty cool name (Avalon) and trying to rename it with some lame acronym - I can understand the need for branding, but this is just insanity! Insanity I tells ya - I mean who wants to develop on something called WPF?... Furthermore, do we really need to be giving more acronyms to the world? I think I'm going to have to start a new cause - People Against Bloody Acronyms (perhaps I could call it PABA)
I love the part of this video where Scoble asks "what's WPF?", after having pointed out that Avalon is now called WPF earlier
WPF indeed.
Whats the flashing light gadget thing on your desk?
Yes, if you need high performance and full control over your scenegraph and messagepump (CAD apps, or FPS games) go with direct3d. Chris Anderson told us, we should wait for avalon quake, but that was a joke obviously.

What type of hardware specs was used to run the Windows Aero and WPF features? what spec do you recommend? I'm shopping for a laptop that can run Windows Aero and WPF sufficiently.
Thanks,
Benjamin
