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)
When Sara Ford gets excited she talks fast. Very fast. So fast in fact that she decided to race the clock at the Visual Studio Launch Event in Mountain View, CA and attempt to demo 101 Visual
Studio tips in under 55 minutes.
The prize? Everyone in the audience receives a free signed copy of her book Visual Studio Tips by MSPress which was used to create a scholarship fund for Hurricane Katrina survivors of her hometown.
Did she succeed? Watch and see!

Sara Ford Rulez !
Excellent Stuff
shame the resolution meant we couldnt read all the options dialogues :-/
Thanks all!
@GreyCloud We've uploaded my 101 Tips cheat sheet to this post. See above. The A/V equipment was optimized to record powerpoint slides at 20pt, and there was no way i could crank up the Environment Font that high (and much less do 101 demos). So, I debated (even up to the last second) what resolution to use, but finally i decided to optimize for the in-house audience so that they could all get a copy of the book.
Enjoy!

As always, you rock!
Wow, you talk as fast as I do when I get excited. And you use the word, "bam", too cool!
I honestly don't see much value in the whole "give X number of tips in X timeframe" videos, other than in a pure entertainment sense. The fact that we can read the tips in your powerpoint slides helps to ensure this whole stunt was not a wasted endeavor however, so thank you for that!
I was there and it was AWESOME (and entertaining
)!
I love Sara's tips'n'tricks! I even did a blog about it with some analysis about some of her tips in this presentation. Maybe read after watching her presentation.
