Hi there,

I'm new to Channel9. First of all I would like to say, wow... what a great initiative this is!

In the video Shanen is talking briefly about the improved "help center" and mentions that there are developer tools for it.

Is there a place where I can find more information on this particular part of Vista?

Best regards,
Maik

Anyone?

Maik

I really want to know... ;)

Why most video recordings are those with the perfect angle and position to get a refection instead the actual screen?
:D

Yeah, it is a common feature - it's been in media player since version 9... I think? Some hardware devices also incorporate the wow technology. But I agree that you shouldn't ned 'work-arounds' in wmp.

You just go to the 'View' menu -> enhancements -> SRS wow effects.

Great video. However, I noticed that they stated that MSDN and TechNet users can use the Beta 2 right away. I know that MSDN can download the software, but I have yet to see an option for TechNet Plus users to be able to download the Beta 2. Am I missing something, or is it only available to MSDN and the Beta users?:(

The application was briefly shown off in the Bill Gates keynote from WinHEC 06. It was shown by Mika?, moments before Shanen was also on stage.

The app was also shown during Bill Gates' keynote at the American Society of Newspaper Editors:

Sorry about that folks, I was using a mono Mic into a stereo camcorder input... all fixed now for the next video, but sorry for the single channel audio on this and a couple of the other videos I've done lately.

I am a bit puzzled about the other comment though, that his voice is too quiet, it sounds fine when I play it through so I'm not sure what some folks are running into.

Anyone else getting audio in the left channel only? For some reason balance doesn't fix it in WMP11 either.

Same issue here.

It is unfortunate WMP lacks the most basic audio controls... The balance control is slightly different control from a pan control like noted.

However there's a workaround: Go to "SRS WOW Effects" (whatever that is), click "Turn on" and then move the WOW Effect to left.

Raise your hand if you know what is SRS WOW without going to look it up...

Does you switch between pen and finger mode or is it both always working? Because that would be quite irritating.

Great overview of vista, but I wonder why he has all this laptops above his desk.

Vista is great. Beta 2 might be a little bit buggy, but the final version is going to be great. :)
