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)
Ernie Booth took a camcorder over to meet the IO Cancellation team. What's that? They are working to make thread cancellation in Windows Vista better. Important for developers who work with Windows at a low level.

The primary reason was the desire to have .Net framework support downlevel platforms and not just Longhorn - at least with some level of functionality. We obviously can't provide full cancellation if the underlying OS doesn't support it. But we could have some limited form that would offer reduced functionality or at least not require developers to be platform-aware. Alas, there was no time to really design it in, given the Whidbey and Longhorn release schedules.
And in case you are wondering, it's not possible to back-port OS-level I/O cancellation to XP / WS03 without potentially breaking existing applications, which is a no-no.

I experimented /w different non-certified drivers and got spanked. There was a feature from ATI (="VPU-Recover" that worked occasionally, though).
