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)
Developing applications that can take full advantage of today's multi-core, multi-processor is a difficult challenge, usually requiring a company's best developers. The new parallel computing technologies in the .NET Framework 4 gives developers some new
tools to make developing these applications easier. Jason Olson describes what these new technologies are and how you'll use them in your application to spread workloads across multiple processor cores.

WOW... Very inspirational !!!
Yeah, really expressive, nice to watch
Thats really great stuff coming in!!
The promise of main stream parallel computing has been around for many years. Looks like VS 2010 and .NET Framework 4 might make it actually happen. Nice post.
Awesome videos, I cant wait to learn/use the stuff.
Where are all these labs that they keep mentioning??
This video is part of an overall Training Course that includes the labs: http://channel9.msdn.com/learn/courses/VS2010/
Please consider the following.
At least one of the parallel computing examples/exercises should have been more simple and concise for laymen. An example of parallel computing on a small project (without classes) might make you ask, "Why would someone build parallel for that?," and the answer may be, to teach, set an example, or an exercise. Being so small that it might exploit the parallel tech so it stands out, is easily noticed and understood.
Please don't interpret one thing as another. The exercises gave me lots of insight, but I am confused and not sure how I would begin to use parallel techs, even for fun : (
I searched my local barnes & nobels for something official (you know, a book) but found nothing. So far, I havent found anyplace with as much info or resources on parallel techs as MSDN. Thank you : )
it's good to have those ideas for general uses, but what about hardcore muli-proccessing programmers?
it seems that for now, there are too few classes and methods for getting the true power and functionality of multiple cores.
here are some example (sorry for the names, i'm more of a java programmer) :
no atomicBoolean ,atomicMarkableReference,atomicStampedReference.
no compareAndSet() method (and many other methods) for types that have less bytes than int32 .
no get() method for anything besides long.
for more information of what i'm talking about:

Thank you !
Wow !!!! Thats really great thing coming up for the next generation..
