Following up on a comment charles made, what sort of percentage of the videos you film have to be dropped and never make it onto channel 9?

There needs to be a C9 store. I would love to have a nice polo with the Nine guy on the chest. Or a tshirt. Or something.

Great video, a cool inside look at how videos get made and the techniques used to get such cool videos. Keep up the awesome work guys.

Who are you?! Always a great way to start a video.

I wish I had a white board that big Sad

The following edits are live as I watch this.

EDIT: What's your title Scoble? Man I hope to be in your seat after I get my Doctoral, become an anesthesiologist, get my MBA and spend another 4 or 5 years getting a BS in CS. So let's say... 15+ years lol. ::cries::

EDIT: Scoble did you see those new camcorders with 20GB hard drives in them, that's pretty cool! Might make your job easier.

EDIT: You should get a monopod, like the guy interviewing you is.

EDIT: A nice external mic that straps onto the camcorder would be a GREAT benefit, and they aren't that expensive.

EDIT: Charles looks nothing like I thought he would lol, so that was him in the new Vista Memory Management Going Deep Video!

EDIT: Keep this type of video style! It reminds me of family videos, and this is what channel 9 is all about, creating a sense of family with Microsoft. Atleast that's why I think.

EDIT: How many videos aren't uploaded? Damn lawyers!

EDIT: Yea I spent half my vacation watching Channel 9 videos I missed while I was sitting full of food.

EDIT: Whoa! Awsome bean bag!

EDIT: Does Charles have a blog he maintains often? He seems like a wicked cool guy.

Conclusion: Nice video, it's going to be fun seeing where you're going to be going in this company Robert, not just you but the rest of the C9 team. I really have to thank you for giving people, users, developers, and beginners a sense of what Microsoft is all about.

Very small percentage. Less than 1%. Typically, the only videos that we won't ship are those that we just don't like (that is, they pretty much suck). For other ones, it's about the topic, which may be too sensitive for public viewing for one reason or another.

My name is Dave Oliver. I'm a Technical Architect.

It's videos like this that make me realise why I Love Channel 9 Videos!

I now prefer the honest unmanaged rawness and feel of these videos, it's also like you get a sense of being in the room too, the next best thing to actually being there.

Just how transparent can you make an organisation? This is the next best thing to being there in the flesh. You just don't see any other vendors doing this right now. It does make Microsoft seem less evil and more human at the coal face.

A very sincerely thanks guys.

BTW loved the idea of Channels ... yep that would be cool.

This is exactly what I thought when I saw the stuff which was C9 related @ PDC05!!
I want not only polo, but caps, mugs, pens, C9 Guy limited edition gold and stuff like that.
I 'd buy it whatever it cost!!
