This is kind of off-topic but there is a good chance of someone from the VS team reading this and answering it...

Q: Is the VS editor based on the rich text format?
(instead of HTML or XML etc)

OT: Using the Save link to download the video, seeking doesn't work in the saved wmv and it stops playing at some 75%.. These problems do not appear in the streaming version.

OT2: I have had ch9 since beginning using cookie for password - I do not remember the password and cannot access the profile from other computer. Can you please send a new password to the email in my profile? I tried the forgotten password function but it does not seem to work in this case. Thanks.

Not sure I can help you with the video download issues. It seems to work fine for me.

RE: The Editor: We default to Rich Text when copying text.  The Editor itself is not a RichText control but something we owner draw ourselves.
Would it be rude to turn on a person's office lights when interviewing them?

Other than that it was interesting to meet the VS Core team.  Good stuff.
Tim: Some developers are scared of light... especially those bright fluorescent overheads. Smiley  In reality I guess I figured I was barging in enough as is.  No one had any warning.  But I think you can tell that. Smiley
I can't seem to download the full video.

I'm pleased to hear about the VSIP improvements in VS2005. I mentioned in a another thread a while back how disappointed I was after learning C# and everything that goes with managed code only to find that VSIP was COM based in VS2k2/3.

Same here.  The video ends abruptly.  The file is 62,734,692 bytes.  Also having the seek problem mentioned above.

Great Tour Josh,
Some of those offices looked kinda crowded (and hot) with two people in them. Looks like Jeremy had a big fan to keep him cool. Is that the norm around there? They all seemed to be enjoying what they were doing!

I had no problems with the videos, got all the way to the end to hear how tired Scoble was.
