Channel 9 Video Request [Channel 9 Video Request]

Channel 9 team, can we also have a going deep video on web based software architecture, how to look out for scalability, security ... I know you guys cover some of it when you meet with different product teams but a complete video dedicated to this issue would be awesome. Being a software company Microsoft would want to hold back certain secrets but I am sure there would be a lot that you guys would want to share.

It would be fun to learn how Channel 9 itself was designed / architected. What were the hurdles the team had to face, what are the recurring problems the team has to go through. How the site is managed / maintained. What design decisions that were made initially that the team isn't very happy about and vice versa.

Thanks,
Vaibhav

Does anyone know if "the .NET show" uses an automated process to convert the audio from their recording into text, or do they have someone to type-out the audio from the recording.

Thanks,
Vaibhav

PDC is for developers and Microsoft is building an awesome platform for us developers to exploit for the next 10 - 15 years. Presentation, communications, tools, you name it, we will have it. However, if you think from the end user's perspective, from what I can recollect you would only see a couple of things in the actual look and feel.

sidebar
First page of the document on thumbnails
3D flipping between apps
and app preview on the taskbar
Glass effect on windows, I however have noticed that when you have many windows open the text on Glass is not clearly visible, hope MS does something about that.

I may have missed a few items but you get the message.

The way Kam Vedbrat was showing the video behind the start bar, I hope he was meaning to show the power of the engine and not the actual UI.

I am hoping that with beta 2 we would see a lot of visual enhancements to the UI.
