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)
Technical Fellow Dave Campbell digs into the "fabric" of Azure's SQL Services. What are the current capabilities of SQL Services and how will they evolve? Can you upload stored procedures to the cloud and expect them to run? What does extending a shrink-wrapped
application to the world of distributed cloud services really mean? Listen in. Learn.

I feel like a kid in a sweet shop at the moment, completely hysterical!
Keep on watching and listening. Of course, please talk back. We need you feedback. So, what do think of Azure? How will you innovate on it?

Too bad it's called SQL Services.
If it's not a SQL Server (which is presumably a good thing), it would make sense to drop the SQL moniker all together and name it something like Cloud Database Services. If it does offer a SQL query interface, that's fine, but it doesn't mean that SQL should be part of the name.
If it offered a solid relational calculus DSL and no SQL support, no one would complain.
As soon as you guys are building a new database service, why don't you take it a bit further and allow defining entities and relations between them as predicates in a semi-natural language? Relvars are predicates, according to the relational database theory. Why not to preserve the relvar's original meaning in the database metadata? That would be a competitive advantage.
PS: What's that S-LINK thing, anyways? Is it a subset of LINK or a superset of thereof?
