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)
Technical Strategist Steve Marx sits down with us to discuss what Windows Azure means for
developers. The basic idea is to make it really simple for developers to deploy web applications and services without having to worry about scaling, management. So, Windows Azure is an operating system in the sense that it abstracts away the infrastructure
details of the cloud "machine". Steve takes us through the process of deploying web applications and services without having to worry about scaling or management using cloud computing in Windows Azure.
It's always great to chat with Steve. You'll enjoy this classic style C9 interview

AFAICT, if you need your service hosted inside your own lan, you can use .Net services and leverage some of the other stuff like auth, but keep your code local. So you can pick and choose what you need.
Thanks Charles and Steve. Really cool stuff. As it happens, I am looking for hosting for my take on a *witter service with an Astoria backend and a smart client (and SL client in the works after I get better VS-SL support..hint
Any chance a fellow
9'er with a new social service can get a "token" for the Azur ctp so I can host it?

the editors and posters of channel9 are really lazy basterdz. i kid you not.
Can't understand why a "platform independent" solution has this barrier...on the dev side at that?
sigh...
I am very much excited on this technology. I had registered in www.azure.com and I have installed azure SDK to work on some sample (ASP.NET Hello world sample) but whenever I try to create host service none of the services are availble there. I noticed the below message.
Register for Services*
*Due to pre-release CTP status, you may be temporarilyplaced on a waiting list for certain services.
Also I noticed that, under the "Account" section in the site, I need to put Resource Token ID and need to claim the token. But I haven't recieved any email with that information.
Any body know how I can get host services to work on some samples ?

I understand that Azure and Microsoft Server 2008 are complementary technologies. Are there plans to help port code for Windows server 2008 to Azure and vice versa. What will be the issues here and what are the limitations as per current implementation of azure.
The idea being that initially a small company might start out with Azure and rely on its scalability solutions. Eventually the company might want to move to self hosted servers using Windows Server 2008. In that case, developers would prefer the transition to be as easy and bug free as possible. Are such scenarios being considered?
What about providing solutions so that users have a inhouse azure environment e.g. My company decides that we need to maintain the data on our own local servers, then all I need to do is go buy say 20 servers, and then use a framework to create a mini azure environment inhouse. There will be maybe 2 fabric controllers which keep in sync and ensure that there is no single point of failure and beyond that all the remaining machines are maintained by these controllers just as azure is doing currently in data centers. Providing such a solution would allow companies to switch between azure in microsoft datacenter and 'mini azure' with their own servers relatively easier.
A well designed, eye-catching and user friendly website is definitely necessary for the success of any online business. And when it comes to website design company and Cloud Hosting, India is one of the most popular destinations. Work is outsourced from all over the world to India, because of the cheap services offered by qualified website designers, India
