Hello Brian,

Very usefull post and nice music :) ... but it seems to be a problem with the VS 2010 CTP download.

I followed your steps but the download manager is not able to download any fille and it reports: "File not found on the server"

Could you please help me sort this out?

Thanks in advance!

have definitely talked to several users who have used it successfully on those platforms. You will get a message that says you're running on an operating system that's not supported, but you should be able to click past that and use it without any trouble.

IF you turn the volume down as low as possible where you still can hear Brian talk, the music is less distracting

Thanks, Jack! I use Camtasia for most of my stuff these days. Running v5.0 but hoping I can buy a license for v6.0 soon.

Brian,
Awesome video and links for making use of the VPC image.

Question: what software do you use to do your screen recording - I was really impressed with the quality!

I have noticed MS is making more of there content as video/poscasts-I do not think this is a good trend.
Even though this one was well organized, I would like to see these things transcribed to some sort of document.
Then it would be searchable. Also, I can read/skim something like this in about 30 secs and pick out the important parts and determining if it requires a closer read..
With these videos, we have to watch the whole thing to find out if we enve need to spend time with it.

Guys, don't take it badly, but BitTorrent is not only to download DVDRips...download managers are so 1990's...please next time package it in a format coherent with the 21st century and I might just download it. ;)

thanks.

ps: of course I still downloaded it, cause I'm a geek and I need my dose of new .NET framwork every two years, but really, it's a pain... I just uninstalled the downloader...reminded me too much of the old times.

Lostasif -
Did you use the download manager? This error is pretty straightforward, it means you have a corrupt download.

Totally - keep it as intro music by all accounts, but it eventually became all I could hear... very distracting. The content is interesting enough to not need music in the background.

bummer :(
But conversion from VM to VPC works fine. Try taking a snapshot of the system running under VPC using VMWare as if you are converting physical machine into VMWare. VMWare is free and takes snapshots of physical machines.

Also here is a link where you can download a software which converts VM to VPC in case you need it.

Microsoft should release a VM for VMWare or Parallels, i use a mac succeffully with VM's and also vmware on windows vista virtual pc is to slow to use for serious development and also so limited, hi have tried to convert to vmware without success :(

This is a very good video. I had some problems with VPCs in the past, where I could not get the right password or a freshly downloaded image is expired. Great walkthrough.

Music was distracting :(. May be you could have music during transitions or just for the introduction for several seconds. Or may be lower and raise volmue depending on whether the voice is present or not.

Now if I could stop Vista from crashing every hour or so, it would be nice, otherwise I'll have to use XP which works perfectly fine.

Mouseover "Downloads" in the post above. We make several formats available.

At this site, we do not have Silverlight installed and are not allowed to install it. Would it be too much trouble to make the video available to run in media player?

Sorry Tom, I didn't hear a word you said - let me turn down this background music... hold on a sec... ;-)

Don't worry - we've received plenty of feedback on the music. It's funny because a few people like it but the majority seem to dislike it. Jason Olson is working on this week's 10-4 episode and is taking that feedback into account. Hopefully you'll like the next one better, and if not please continue to tell us how we can make 'em better for you each week. We aim to please!

The "background" music was so bad I could not stand listening to your presentation. Will try to figure it out from the blog posts.

1.) Start Virtual PC, but do not start a Virtual Machine
2.) Go To File=>Options
3.) Click on Keyboard
4.) Click on the text box with the host key
5.) Type in a new key

For the German layout I think the right Windows key should be best, because you do not need it.

You can find the different keyboard layouts here (works only with Internet Explorer): http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/keyboards.mspx
