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)

Recorded LIVE
On Tuesday (June 17 2008) a small group of bloggers from across the globe were invited to participate in an online, interactive discussion with Curtis Wong and Jonathan Fay; the gentlemen behind World Wide Telescope.
Along with Ambika Singh from the Microsoft team here in Redmond, we placed Curtis and Jonathan in the Channel 10 studios and streamed them live to the web via Ustream with a web chat system powered by Windows Live Translator where they fielded questions about and provided demos of World Wide Telescope.
We recorded two sessions to accommodate for global time zones. Here is the PM session recording for bloggers from Eastern Europe and Asia Pacific.
AM session available here

I wish the real Virtual Earth was in there. Not a bunch of "tiles". I would love to zoom in closer to my neighborhood without getting that fuzzy haze. Didn't I installed some Virtaul Earth software onto my computer, so I could view Live Maps? I kinda expect it to work in WWT as well.

Virtual Earth, Live Maps, Google Earth, WWT all use 'tiles' to store and display their imagery.
If the aerial shots of your neighbourhood are hazy/fuzzy this is probably due to the source photos being lower resolution. From what I understand the Live Maps/Virtual Earth team are constantly adding more detailed, high resolution images (tiles) to their data set so hopefully that will improve soon.
@TEN - the Back Channel events are invitation only,...
