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)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)

In this episode Donovan pays a visit to Stuart Kwan, Group Program Manager for the Federated Identity Team. Stuart has been working in the Identity space for a number of years at Microsoft and in this interview he discusses the challenges around Identity in the industry and the ubiquitous need for Identity as computing systems become more and more connected. He states that by solving certain problems with Identity, it can then be highly leveraged to solve all kinds of different problems for all kinds of different people building different kinds of applications across all kinds of industries. Stuart also highlights his team’s work on Microsoft code name “Geneva” Server, “Geneva” Framework and Windows CardSpace “Geneva” and how these help to leverage Identity on the Windows platform whether in on or off premises scenarios.

I liked the concept and this is what I am looking for one of my biggest government client (*Undisclosed, I can talk more in private e-mail). How this will address application issues? for example MOSS 2007 Search requires NTLM it won't work at all and/or correctly with Kerberos. When Microsoft will start using Geneva in there own products? and have same set of credentials regardless of product(s).
We have a mix bag of FBA, Windows Authentication, Custom providers credentials for legacy, ASP, ColdFusion, Java, Oracle and .NET web applications, I am very much interested in this product and like to understand how Geneva can help and will be used as a SSO (single sign-on) Gateway across all the applications listed above.
Current requirement is to have a single gateway for all the applications, once authenticated in any application user will automatically access all the applications without login challenge. Security trimming will be done at web application level.
All this question may be addressed, I will start reading blogs or material available online.

any advise from Mr. Stuart that this geneva framework is "safe" to adopt in the production system.. ? i'm afraid that during the Beta period Microsoft.Identity namespace will change and we have to recode as well...
Thanks
Thanks dir
