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)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- WMV (WMV Video)
John Hrvatin, Program Manager of Internet Explorer Developer Tools sits down with me to discuss at a high level the new additions to IE 8's developer tools (aka Dev Tools). These include JavaScript performance profiling, CSS profiling and formatting exploration.
And, there's more. 
This is a conversation that addresses more than what's new in dev tool world. We also tackle some harder questions and learn a bit about John. We will be doing some deep dives on some the new IE 8 dev tools enhancements in upcoming interviews with the developers
who wrote them.
Tune in.

i only installed and use it for less than 5 minutes ..it looks just like ie7 ..i dont know what they could have changed but it would been nice if it looked a bit different ..
i must admit ..i currently dont use windows and ie so i dont know if this is changed and thats why i am asking ..a while ago, when downloading a file, ie will download it to a temporary area and then move it to its destination when the download is complete ..this is mostly ok when downloading half a kilobyte of a file but very annoying when trying to download a large file especially when running out of disk space on the default downloading drive ..is this behavior changed? ..

It is certainly not the case that IE, Opera, WebKit do the same thing and Firefox does something else.

It's a false choice.
The standards only have to do with how a page is rendered. If all browsers had to do was render pages, the question would be a valid one. But it's a false argument - there are all kinds of things that a browser does Other Than render pages.
From a presentational developer's standpoint, I don't care if default line height is 1.2 in one browser and 1.0 in another, because if it's a problem, I'll set line height to the explicit number.
No, the problem isn't default line-height, the problem is that when I make an explicit style rule, that it hasn't made the same result across browsers. Padding: 10px should look like 10 pixels of padding in FF, IE6, IE7, IE8, Opera, Safari, etc., not 10px in FF and Safari and 20 in the IEs.
Also, pick one, and force everybody to switch. No reason on Earth I can think of that IE7 wasn't a critical update at release. What you do when you don't make people switch, is to allow people to be contrarian about the fact that they don't have to switch, and then they just don't. That may allow one set of developers to preserve code base, but it kills everybody else.
That results in more work for the presentation layer people, which is why those people don't take you seriously. And that's sad, because the more your latest browser gains acceptance and market share, the more presentation people can be confident that the code they write is cross-browser compatible.
Win, win.
very cool, thanks!
