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)

The Windows Azure AppFabric Caching service accelerates application performance by providing a distributed, in-memory application cache requiring no installation, configuration, or management. The CTP release of the Caching service was made available in AppFabric LABS at PDC10. To get started, go to: http://portal.appfabriclabs.com/.

Seems MSFT are considering price range according to the survey:
$20 - $30 for a cache of 125MB or less
$30 - $60 for a cache of 256MB or less
$60 - $100 for a cache of 512MB or less
$100 - $200 for a cache of 1GB or less
Seems quite expensive to me .... would prefer [maybe] to see something like:
$20 - 125mb or less
$30 - 256mb or less
$50 - 512mb or less
$75 - 1 GB or less
High end consumers of Cache should really be rewarded the most in terms of pricing. The difficultly is that too much pricing on caching as a service just leads everyone to install either Memcache on Instances or Windows Server Caching on VM's and charging out at like $0.12 per instance .... or $85 p/m for a continuing running instance.
Of course, totally confused how all this compares to Amazon EC2 - https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/ - they offer High Memory Instances starting with 17.1 GB of Memory up to 68.4 GB for around $0.50 to $1.20 per/hour per instance .... and running Memcache on this would fly ...
