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…”
- High Quality WMV (PC, Xbox, MCE)
- MP3 (Audio only)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- High Quality MP4 (iPad, PC)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
When the content team plans sessions for MIX not only do they take into account practicality and applicability, but
they also are tasked with programming inspirational content. And a lot of that mind-blowing, peek into the future content comes from the big brains working at and partnering with Microsoft Research. Charles Torre joins us this week to talk about the R&D presence at MIX this year, including both sessions and our MSR TechFest that will be held in the Connect Lounge. The research scholars speaking at MIX this year include Doug Crockford, Allen Wirfs-Brock, Luke Hoban, Tomasz Janczuk, James Mickens, Zhengyou Zhang, and Ivan Tashev. Be sure to see their sessions either in person at the event, or shortly afterwards on-line. Plus, we congratulate the winner of our green screen background challenge, Chris Hardy, of Manchester, England. May the force be with you! We also dug the three entries from @marciobueno, especially the Forrest Gump one. Life's a box of chocolates, Forrest. For all the goods, check out http://live.visitmix.com.

well, if you could get Brendan Eich to join the JavaScript panel that will be even better.
but he will present in another ms event in those days,
http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/cambridge/events/ss2011/
and Erik Meijier will be there in Paris and join a 'Sexy Types – Are We Done Yet?'panel which is is interesting too but unfortunately our chance of getting a video recording of that is low ...
You really should ask Doug Crockford this : " should IE9 die ??? " since he left this question unanswered in his own presentation:

@felix9: Yes.... Brendan was the second person I reached out to, after Crockford... Erik had originally planned on attending as a panelist, but had to go to Paris instead. Poor guy...
I think this panel is going to rock and roll. Doug, Allen, Luke and Tomasz will do quite well! We are relying on the audience to be composed of JS practitioners with questions in mind. If not, then it will just be a normal panel. We don't want normal, now do we?
No, I'm not going to ask Doug that question... It's kind of a stupid one, don't you think?

Here's a question i'm extremely interested in hereing Doug Crockford's opinion about: He seems to diss GWT, can he expand on that? To me GWT is very high-tech, involving compiler optimization, and i heard a few MS-fans begging Microsoft to do something similar in dotnet.
Crockford does not like the idea of using JavaScript as a 'target language' or IL.

Zhengyou Zhang's session was cancelled.
From Twitter, it looks like only three people entered the green screen challenge. Is that expected? Or is that a marketing issue, that not enough people knew about the challenge?
@blakejr: Yep. It will be replaced with a NUI panel. Sorry about that. It was too deep/scientific for the MIX audience.

@felix9: Crockford may not like it, but it is something that is being done. I suspect there are many things Doug doesn't like about how the language is actually used in the real world... If you follow Crockford, then you already know this...
We will find out all about this during the panel, now won't we?
