Damn guys,

You guys have some hotties working at Microsoft Im going to have to get me a job there. 

Everytime I see a comment like this on Channel 9 when we have a female employee on camera I just cringe. Ever wonder why the numbers of women in IT are low?  Gee ... could it be because our male dominated industry finds it appropriate to make a comment like this every time a beautiful woman is on C9?  Imagine how they feel at the office now, I wouldn't sign up for that either. 

Can we keep it on topic gents and show some respect for the intelligent women who share their work with us on C9?

Sorry for the lecture, I know you mean no harm, but this one always tweaks me.

I just noticed that Gretchen is wearing what is perhaps the coolest shirt I have seen in a Channel 9 video.  A Spongmonkey shirt! 

I need one Gretchen, where did you get it!!!!

For those of you who wonder what the hell I am talking about ...

Let's put it this way guys ...

Longhorn is going to be a great desktop OS for organizing, managing, viewing, and sharing photos.  You will see more scenarios like these in the demos in the coming years as Longhorn matures.  Stay tuned

Tell me more about The Nerd, the Suit, and The Fortune Teller ...

It may have been filmed and I can get a copy perhaps for C9.

What was it about and why was it so funny?

Excellent! Is there any way I can download the video so I can show it to others?

No unfortunately the rights that we have negotiated with the record company who owns the original song only covers online streaming, no downloads.  Sorry.

Great video, fun and really informative.

But, I'd say, Eric and Lenn, I wouldn't give up the day job to try and persue an acting career!!!

I don't think either of us have plans or the physique for the silver screen, no worries there ... we are sticking to software.

Thanks Lars. Campus is BIG ... 5 square miles or so. No way I was going to walk that distance. In all honesty, Scoble wasn't strapped to the hood, but you gave me a great idea for next time We used some camera's mounted to the dash with styrofoam and duct tape. Mics were rigged to the sun visors, but I had a little help from my friend Bob, who is a producer. Some day I am going to put Bob on camera because he has helped us a lot to do what we do. Oh and Jeremy - I forgive you man ... just for Eric though

Thanks for the scoop.  I Will load it up and give it a try and see how it goes.  Sounds like it is usable but a little pokey like it always was

I got a Sony VAIO with a centrino about 6 months ago and ever since then have been much happier with that proc.  Wish I could upgrade the TC1000 chip. 

Thanks for the tips.

I loved this demo ... Now I wonder how well Lonestar will run on my first gen HP tablet. The Transmeta chip has it collecting dust cause it is painfully slow for me. If only I had one of the new HP one's with the centrino ... This is a HUGE improvement though in my eyes. What about the log-in screen? Peter didn't show anything to make logging in with Ink easier. Anything there to make it better?

PLEASE, pretty please...we need transcripts of the videos!  Please, with sugar on top.

Feedback noted.  We will work on this.  I bet there is a way we can do this easily.  I will ask Robert Hess from the DotNet Show who does this on his.  Consider it added to our list.
