Add the session to your calendar.  In the calendar item will be a link to the video.  Absolutely horrible usability. #Fail

It is streaming now..  you just can't get to it except through the calendar.

The post does say 'at this time', but come on.

I wish I hadn't bought my home server now.  I've been anxious to start developing an add-in for it, but I refuse to do it on my actual home server.  I've got too many important files and backups on it.  It is sitting there taunting me to screw it up.

I'm very disappointed by this decision.  I think the limited number of add-ins for it is due to the lack of availability on MSDN.

I'm a huge MS advocate and I convinced my mgmt team to buy MSDN licenses for all of our developers, but I keep having to explain to mgmt that not all developer/development related products are on MSDN after I told them they were.  The last big mess was the Expression Suite.  At least they don't care about WHS, but the development team all bought a WHS and they are all ticked too.

I finally figured out the root cause of this problem..  I have a SonicWall running SonicOS 3.1 which doesn't support RFC 1323 (Scaled TCP Windows).  When I turn off Strict Stateful Packet  Inspection on the SonicWall, the Vista auto-tuning can be turned on in Vista and the network is very fast.

So anways.. not a problem in Vista.  SonciWall's suck...  can't upgrade to newer code without rebuilding the configs, which isn't an option.

Wonder if they have a clue that their corporate logins and passwords are sent in clear text across ATT's network and the internet.  Should make any respectable company cringe.

Back in those days their drivers were pretty solid except for smp.

Regardless, everyone else was having the same ICD problems.  Had nothing to do with Creative's abilities to write drivers.

I have figured out that if I disable Vista's TCP/IP auto-tuning this works..  Fixed some other issues I was having too.

run as an admin from cmd prompt:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled

My explorer hang issue was resolved by disabling Vista's TCP/IP auto-tuning.
run as an admin from cmd prompt:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled

I worked for Creative Labs at the time of XP's release and I remember all sorts of driver problems.  OpenGL ICD drivers for one..  It was a considerable amount of time before any OpenGL games ran at a decent rate in XP.

I'm guessing you have an nvidia card.  The drivers probably aren't correctly reporting the capabilities and therefore no areo.
