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…”
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- WMV (WMV Video)
For eighteen years at Microsoft,
Rico Mariani’s contagious enthusiasm for technology has inspired countless others to write better and faster code. Most people inside Microsoft know this software architect from his frequent postings on the internal performance tuning alias, and other people
know him by reading his blog on MSDN. He often says that being an architect is a teaching gig and his passion for sharing knowledge has established him as an industry expert. Additionally, what you might not know is Rico is responsible for many of the cool
features and tools that make programming easier like value tips.

If anything is left its in the part that evaluates C++ expressions, I did work in that area while I was the debugger lead and a lot of it is still in use as far as I can tell.
Great interview!
I'm paraphrasing the ending for others because it has me thinking:

If you aren't measuring you aren't engineering. ...
And remember your system will have flaws. What are the flaws? How many are there? What are the tolerances?"
I will remember!
Video stream is broken too.
Mine can... What error are you getting?
C
Now I can too. But quality of stream is AWFUL!
Encoded with 50Kbit bitrate?
Does "downloaded" version has same bitrate? 850 MBs for 58 minutes? Please, learn how to encode videos.
Uhm... Streaming means MBR (that's mutiple bit rate) and will stream at the quality of the connection detected by the server. So, apparently you have issue with your connection pipe....... For Download files, they are encoded at either 1 MB/S or 2 MB/S. In this case it's 2MB/S at 58 Minutes = large file.

Or you might like this one from last year.
And of course there's some good materials on my blog and this bibliography.
I don't have anything much more recent than that because Charles doesn't love me anymore
How could you say that, Rico! You're one of our all time favorite subjects! When you have something to talk about regarding CLR 3.5/4.0 you better believe we'll be knocking on (down) your door.

Congratulations on your amazing accomplishments at Microsoft. That's so cool that you graduated from University of Waterloo. I had graduated from Wilfrid Laurier University and worked at Microsoft Canada for a short while in Mississauga in the Education & Certification department. I now live in New Jersey and work for a programmer support group for Bloomberg LP in Manhattan.
Keep up the good work.
Todd
