Mike Nash is a corporate vice president in charge of Windows client operating systems product management. Previously, he ran the security team that created the new security systems and features in XPSP2. Charles got a chance to spend some time with him recently to have a very candid conversation about Windows Vista and to learn about Windows Vista SP1 (What’s in it? Will it contain lots of new features like XPSP2? Etc…). Of course, with Vista being out in the real world for several months, Charles wanted to get a sense of how the OS is doing in terms of adoption and, equally as interesting to an OS head, how are the new Vista subsystems doing (that is, is Vista proving to be as stable as we thought it was going to be, as secure? – the data from the Vista telemetry systems will answer these questions). So, sit back, relax and get and enjoy this Vista status report interview and learn a little bit about Vista SP1.

Guessing, SP1 will RTM same time as Longhorn Server (since it's the same codebase, or atleast shared codebase)
When are you expecting to go RTM or RTW on SP1 for Windows Vista?

Cool
I have recently been complaining about the size of videos posted and not being able to stream them with a 1.5mbps connection with it being paused.

It seems to be the vidoes Charles posts.

This video runs great so why can't all videos be posted using this bit rate the quality is great.

This doesn't make any sense. For one thing, this video was processed EXACTLY the same way the other videos you've complained about are processed. Second, it's a MULTI-BIT RATE encoded file (the server streams at various bit rates depending upn connection speed). Also, I processed this video, so it's not a Charles issue....

Further, the Download file was encoded at 512Kbs to support complaints from you an others regarding download file size (this complaint made perfect sense and we dealt with it immediately)

So, there is not much real information coming from you that may help us understand why you sometimes have problems receiving video streams. I wonder if it might just possibly have something to do with Internet connection issues......

Sorry for sounding irritated, but, frankly, I am. Do you understand what a streaming file is and how streaming multiple bit rate video files works?

Nice, because one guy has connection issues we all get low bit-rate videos.
