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)

The IsSearchProviderInstalled API is rendered mostly useless by the following condition: "Sites are only allowed to search for providers on the same domain." This eliminates the ability for, say, microsoft.com or msdn.com sites to determine if an Internet Explorer user has added a Live Search search provider (live.com).
The AddSearchProvider API does not provide a way to indicate if a user has opted out of adding a search provider by clicking Cancel. Additionally, because of the limitation above, there is also no way to determine if a user successfully added a search provider for a differently domained search provider.
This is tangential to this video, but the Live Search autocomplete suggestion Web service does not provide a way to scope suggestion results to a particular domain.

Internet Explorer could not search using this search provider.
There was a problem with the search provider's information.

1. Quality of Video (when the focus in on Monitor/Projector) is extremely poor, could barely read anything.
I have complained this many a time
2. Can I set more than 1 (one) SEARCH deafault provider instead of having only 1 default
3. If #2 is TRUE, then I would like to see the RESULT SET for a specific SEARCH as UNION & INTERSECTION data, which will help us see that data from UNION SET is more worth navigating further.
You can only have one default search provider but you can install as many secondary search providers as you like.
The IE8 QuickPick menu makes it very easy to switch to any secondary provider.
We don't support aggregation of search results right now but thanks for the suggestion.
