Here's the second part of the interview with Neal Christiansen. He talks about the internals of Windows and how File System Filters work.

Here's the first part of the interview in case you missed that.

Nice video! I like the part where he says that sometimes in the future there could be a microkernel in the bottom and drivers above them (also written in managed code). Very cool idea.
I have to say this guy was a pleasure to watch. He was entertaining and candid. There was a lot of intelligence to what he was saying, and I learned a lot. Dana was an interesting addition. Both guys knew their stuff, and this is exactly what channel 9 should strive to get more of. Who else would talk about the windows kernel with any authority?

I want to see some interviews with the inventor of c#, or the PE file designer. I recently went through winHex for file recovery, and there is a wealth of stuff to learn. If the linux kernell is open source, this is not going to be a major breach:)

Good job lads

Good stuff. This was a great series. Guess I'm Neal Christansen fan now. Funny how noone had the heart to tell him that he'd been hoaxed though Smiley

I'm not experiencing this problem. Which version of Windows are you running? Which version of WMP? Could be a problem with the stream due to network conditions? The video file is fine.

Charles: This goes bit offtopic, but what kind of servers host these sites (blogs.msdn.com channel9).

Should world go 90% or more underwater tomorrow - would the survivors a) have a backup located in place highly unlikely to go underwater b) if they attempted to rescue MS websites and Longhorn, would that be possible without flooding the place where the information is stored (the datacenter would need to be accessible underwater without difficulty). c) Perhaps there should be a floating satellite link and satellites which can store all the data currently on the ground.

Am I serious? Well good question, hard to answer. Recently there has been so many floods, even HERE where never to my knowledge has been such floods, that thinking these kind of possibilities cannot be entirely avoided. And I love watching those serious looking documentaries that tell about disasters and show nice graphs to support them - I have no time to go do background research of the subjects unfortunately.

My wild imagination brings me the thought of a city designed to survive the waves and then float. Like houses seen on some recent news footage. Internet would still need to work underwater - but that it does already!

Oh and while this is nothing compared to what you see on TV, here is some pics I managed to find..

WMP : 10.00.00.36.46
Windows Version: Windows XP, 5.01.2600
( Version 5.1 (Build 2600xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158 : Service Pack 2 ) )

If I double click the small window, I have audio, but when I click the link that makes it play in a separate WMP instance, there is no audio.

Up to you. I don't care, just reporting to you, thats all.
