TWC9: 4 Years of TWC9, Kinect SDK, C++, & more

On our four year anniversary of This Week on Channel 9, we wanted to give a special thank you to all of our viewers for supporting and watching us over the years. Amusingly, our first show aired Feb 1, 2008 without a name and Niners Ian & ChadK suggesting the name This Week on Channel 9. Thank you all, we wouldn't be here without you.

Production Note: We know the audio is a little rough/overdriven in places and we're going to try to see if there's anything we can do post-production to fix it. Sorry about that!
