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)

Welcome to another edition of Expert to Expert. Once again the venerable language master Erik Meijer leads the conversation. This time, we're lucky enough to
have PowerShell creator and Partner Architect Jeffrey Snover. Jeffrey is really passionate about PowerShell and has worked hard to see that his .NET shell
scripting technology ships in Windows 7 (it is on by default in Windows 7 and is used by administration components of the new OS). Erik is a big fan of PowerShell (especially since the code name of PowerShell was "Monad"
) so we figured it would be useful
to have Erik dig into the nitty gritty of PowerShell with Jeffrey and determine exactly what PowerShell is, how it's designed (and why), how it's used primarily (and secondarily) and finally how it will evolve. PowerShell is much more than a Windows-based
shell scripting language and engine. But what, exactly, does this statement mean? Tune in. This is yet another great conversation between two stalwarts of the programming industry. Enjoy!

.Jeffrey talks about the next CTP (CTP3 I guess) in the video. When will we be able to download CTP3 for Vista? I can't wait to get my hands on it.
IIRC Jeffrey said at his PDC session that CTP3 would be available in the December/January timeframe.
I totally have a professional crush on Jeffrey Snover.

1. The powershell window won't resize like a normal window. The stone-aged buffer-aproach is a bug in 2008.
2. If I pipe some long output to the more function, and want to see the output line by line,, it clutters the output with it's own promt for every line. That would have been a bug 50 years ago
The best would be if these bugs could be worked around, or that I simply har missed something to make these things work

What a stud!
Like,
Jeffrey Snover counted to infinity, twice.
When a boogey man goes to sleep, he checks for Jeffrey Snover in the closet.
Jeffrey Snover does not sleep, he waits.
Overall, it's an awesome video. I cannot wait to see that future vision of serializing cmdlets from the remote host into a local host becoming a reality. That sounds very powerful.
