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)
Have you ever had to email yourself a file or found that you had four different versions of the same document on four different PC's? Wouldn't it be awesome if you had a synchronized copy of all your important files on each of your devices and access to them at any time via nothing more than a web browser?

I keep photos of my son sync'd between my home computer, my work computer and my wife's home computer. So anytime she takes some new pictures, I get to have them on whatever computer I'm on.

I am a massive Microsoft supporter, I used to be a Linux junkie but I was won back by MS (especially by their consumer electronics, which I think they need more of t wiover more people), but this stikes me as a little strange- how does this help MS stay relevant in the long term? At the moment it seems pretty simple (don't get me wrong it's impressive enough as it is) in terms of features, it seems that other companies could do the same and then overtake MS with new features etc- are there big plans for expansion? Plugins?
What I would really like to see:
As I said, it is impressive, and great job, I just hope to see it go beyond what we see as a desktop doing (even if it is some spiffy web desktop). A mesh to me involves connecting MANY places.

This looks like a great product. It would be even cooler if I could use my Windows Home Server as the back end storage instead of SkyDrive.

Yes, if you could use other sources other than SkyDrive that would open up a lot of opportunities. If Home Server or Windows Server that would be very nice.
Does the mesh app support encryption between other mesh members?

i dont suppose there is any to run this w/o uac installed? i disable uac on my media center server (because uac causes problems) but now i cant run the install. i dont see any reason uac would matter.... other than ms wanting to annoy people.
