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)
This was by far the best part of the Bill Gates keynote for me and probably the highlight of the show overall. Microsoft Auto showed of 2 new great technologies to make all of our driving experiences more pleasant with a focus on the Sync My Ride technology. I can't wait to get this in my car. Not only does it offer voice activated features with your wireless MP3 player and your bluetooth mobile phone- but you will be blown away at the excellent text messaging options. Well, at least I was. Take a look and you be the judge.

I love the tech and my current car has Blue&Me in it, yes I'm European.... however I own a Zune and I swear to god the two of them just won't play nice- is this something MS will ever fix? If it comes down to replacing the car or the Zune it'll be a tough decision but I don't think anybody would forgive me.

I have been following Windows Automotive group early on and then they go silent...and then Blue&Me came out and now this here in the states !!!
I hope VW/Audi Group would pick this up so more "cool" cars can have it soon too. I mean new Focus is nice and all...it's a start.
I just can't wait for this to be available on most new cars from most manufacturers. And I am stoked to see some of the things I have seen early on actually make it.

Still rather unimpressed. I mean, the only real thing it does is just sync wirelessly with device? It's that big of a deal?
I'd rather see Microsoft take some ideas, like integrating Live Maps with a built-in GPS system, Gadgets, feeds, and some other neat car-centric ideas (on-the-go) with technology.
But picking only Ford, and a rather small and simple technology is not at all groundbreaking.
