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)
- WMV (WMV Video)
During MIX09 I had the opportunity to sit down with the guys from ComponentOne and take a look at the controls available in their new Studio for Silverlight
2009 release. Along with a full-featured datagrid and richtextbox, they demoed a BitMap API and Effects running in Silverlight 2, which we had just announced for Silverlight 3. The other feature that really stood out for me was the fact that they were
supporting the same themes as the Silverlight Toolkit. Even if you're using controls from different assemblies, you still want them to look cohesive and this is what theme support can provide.

How about someone doing a comparrison review of commercial vs non commercial? (EG Whats in Codeplex at the moment)
Just found Tim Heure's list of Silverlight controls - thanks:

BTW Thanks for doing this - you are a legend.
I also think that Silverlight 3 is going to ship with a pretty complete toolkit, so 3rd parties are going to have to try much harder than they are doing at the moment.
For the price at present, they are offering very little. The Xceed datagrid offers you something really special, but C1, Dev Express etc are spreading their resouces between Winforms, ASP.NET and Silverlight too much and lacking the wow factor. I think the component vendors that are doing solely Silverlight or WPF are the ones that are going to succeed for the time being, until these companies restructure, and focus on specific technogies and add more investment.
