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)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- High Quality MP4 (iPad, PC)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
People often stop me in the streets to ask "Hey Tina, what's life "really" like at Microsoft? Sometimes I can't even walk outside my house without somebody standing there with a giant neon sign that blinks "What is life "really" like at Microsoft"? Instead of answering every individual separately and so you can save your money on those neon signs. I decided to create a video that would answer that simple yet complex question. I want to throw out a special high-five to the following because without them and a lot of beer this video never would have happened.
Duncan Mackenzie, Erik Porter, Mike Sampson, Scott Davis, Grant BlahaErath, Dan Fernandez, Max Zuckerman, Adam Kinney, The Dalai Lama and Britney Spears

That was one of the best part.

Hilarious and brilliant! I particularly enjoyed Al at security, the keyboarding face-off with Duncan, and Xbox tech support with Adam. Naturally, however, the best part of the video is you.

Congrats to Tina on the writing and Finley on the editing! Certainly made us look like something worth watching
Nice job to all of the actors as well especially the three Nerf hitmen.
Wow.. all my assumptions about MicroSerfs where true.. and arrogance reigns supreme.
Betcha this get's deleted (and yes, I used Firefox to post it damnit!)

I don't miss working for Microsoft. I don't miss Seattle, Redmond, Bellevue, the surrounding areas, the crappy restaurants in the surrounding areas, the traffic, the cold Seattle attitude, the money, the company credit card (OK - I kind of miss that), and I may find the Windows Live Writer installation process to be intolerable, but I really do miss the few of you I liked who worked in offices along several hallways on one side of one floor of one building where there was a little pocket of goodness among the big, scary Microsoft chaos.
I don't know what I would have done without you people.
Worked, probably.
Tina Whatever-your-last-name-really-is - you're a frikkin' genius.

Interestingly enough, during the filming of this piece I distinctly remember the quote "Where's Rory when we need him!"
Whoa, whoa, whoa,.. Scripts? Takes? Writing? Editing? Are you saying,.. that this was,... was,.. STAGED!???
zOMFG!!!
Also I'd like to see a continuation - "The Adventures of Zuck: the Duffel Bag"

Very good, almost as good as Bill's last day at work.
I'm a little dissappionted though, I thought Adam really was a Jedi.

I love where your heads were at with this video. I've worked there and had some of the best and happiest times in my career.

Leave out the self-worship sexism crap. The rest was refreshing.

Well, at least you got eight decent posts before it turned into another rediculous open source vs. the Evil Empire discussion. I guess some people just didn't get breast fed. If the open source community would just take over the world already and get over themselves maybe we could move on with life.
I thought the video was funny, regardless of my affiliations.

Authored on a Mac? Isn't that a garage band riff 1 minute into the video?

P.S.Google roxx!

Very nice Video, is really refreshing that someone can have a laugh at himself. But I would like to see you participate more Tina. Surely you could do it on a second part.
PS: I want one of those G4 autographs =)
