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…”
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- WMV (WMV Video)
One of the characteristics of a great general purpose operating system is simply being reliable - limiting user disruptions. Windows Vista is our most reliable OS to date. How can we say this? Well, this is Vista Week on Channel 9 and here we take this broad
question to the development manager for Windows Reliability, Mario Garzia.
Mario and team have done some amazing engineering (you will meet more of the Windows Reliability team in the coming days) and Vista is full of new components that work in concert to make Vista a highly reliable system. Listen in. Learn.

Charles, why are you always defending Microsoft? Let the developers and PMs defend/sell their product. You end up making yourself sound like a marketing head, instead of an unbiased technical interviewer.
I believe the viewers want to associate with the interviewer in that we want to view a balanced dialog as we would have with the interviewee.
I've been watching channel 9 since the very beginning, and I've always sighed when I've heard you sort of dwell on the selling points of the product rather than probe the corner cases. I think Scobble did a good job of getting at those more interesting topics.
Of course, I've seen that you're pretty sensitive about "Scobble did his thing, and I do my thing", but I think you can still be your own person and still learn from others.
That's my constructive criticism for today.
Cheers,
Munkie
Thanks
Steve
At this point, there's no good ("official and supported") way for 3rd party software to collect this information.
However, Reliability Analysis Component (RAC), the data provider for Reliability Monitor, does publish an event to the eventlog that contains the stability index for that 24 hour session. The details of the event are as follows:
Log name: Microsoft-Windows-Reliability-Analysis-Engine/Operational
Event ID: 2005
A full, official solution is being considered for future versions of RAC.
