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)
This video is a good way to prepare for your trip to the PDC, if you are coming, and gives you a good insight into what's coming in the Windows Presentation Foundation.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I've treid to contact Arik Cohen but I couldn't find his mail and his blog was empty (I think he doesn't go there much
Edit: Ok, just got a reply from Arik Cohen, here's what he said for those who want to know:
"Nick Kramer talks about this on his blog
(http://blogs.msdn.com/nickkramer/archive/2005/07/18/440085.aspx)
We had just implemented the order window as another window and used
Win32 calls for the alphablending (when the window was separate). When the window was hosted inside the app -- we used the same visual tree on a Canvas element that was animated."

ps: Arik if you get to see this, I forgot to tell you to start your blog for once! I've been there, it's empty
I'll get going on it soon (promises, promises).
Hope to see folks at the PDC!
can someone help me figure out why I cannot get the WinFX components/samples to execute? I'm dying to try this stuff out.
Here is a post I made to a news group:
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.developer.winfx.avalon/browse_frm/thread/19b2e017543198f4/09c6e849bf5229ea#09c6e849bf5229ea
When trying to execute code, I am getting the exceptions below. I can compile code, just not execute it. I have the Sept CTP bits installed and VS 2005 Beta 2.
Culture name 'cn' is not supported
and a XAMLPAD NullReferenceException
Thank you,
Josh
