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)
- MP3 (Audio only)
- WMV (WMV Video)
It is hard to imagine a time when the internet wasn’t a part of our lives. It has been over a decade since the Web transformed the Internet from an academic exercise into a common household name.
Terry Crowley may today be hard at work focusing on the advanced features and capabilities which will be part of Office 14, but he was also deeply involved with the early history and evolution of the early Internet. Join us as he shares with us his reflections
of the Internet, the origins and evolution of FrontPage, experiences in Office, and his expectations for where this technology is leading us.
The venerable Robert Hess conducts this interview.

my first modem was 300 Baud.
I recall hearing on Genie and BBS's of this thing called "The Well" that seemed to be an "Elite Place".
When GIF was all Compuserve and users had email names like "36467354"
and finding my first dialup's that connected to UNIX boxes....
and then Getting TCP/IP over PPP for 19.95 a month.
and running support for an ISP and training about 20 guys/gals how to fix dialup problems for folks with all kinds of hardware and OS'es
Windows 3.1,NT 3.5, WIn95-98, OS/2, Mac 6 /7
and all that fun stuff....
and having some lady say I was full of it when I told her to call US Robotics, she had an expensive modem/fax card that did fax ok and did 28.8 ok but was not doing the early 56K stuff right.
then getting her on the phone a month later for a different support call and having her say she was sorry, that USR told her I was right
Back in the day I ran 25 line multinode Wildcat! BBS systems and paid out the nose to be HST compliant.
I'm still experiencing Frontdoor withdrawal too.
Anybody remember the Visual Basic Depot?
Most all of my VB, C and C++ files are still available on Walnut Creek CDs.
I never got paid for any of it.
Greetings
