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…”
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- High Quality WMV (PC, Xbox, MCE)
Inefficient background activity has a dramatic impact on system performance, power consumption, responsiveness, and memory footprint. This session demonstrates best practices for background process design and dives deep on the capabilities of the Service
Control Manager (SCM) and Task Scheduler. It also covers how to use new Windows 7 infrastructure to develop efficient background tasks.

It's a really cool stuff and I like this feature very much. I have already got a copy of Windows 7 image and an SDK of Windows 7. I found the definition, trigger-start, has already in the head file, WinSvr.h, but I still have not idea about how to implement the feature by ChangeServiceConfig2 API. Does anyone has any ideas or sample codes ? Could you share with me ? My email is kaokao66@hotmail.com. Thank you for any comment followed !!
Thank you for your query. The MSDN SDK documentation is currently being updated and should be available after Windows 7 Beta release. Tentatively, that should happen in the later part of January 2009.
