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)

"everything is just a few hundred clicks away" a few hundred clicks?!
"[...] can run for a full 19 minutes before recharge" err.. thats like.. nothing
"its virtually unbreakable unless dropped or hit" yes you heard right! it wont fall appart from sitting on your desk!
typing a thing of the past?
also did they say that that guy spent 45 minutes writing an email?? it was like 5 lines
if thats a real product apple really havent thought this through
also, how is dumping all your files in a giant list "organizing"
it is innovative though
--edit--
ok so it isnt real
And where is an excited discusstion about Windows Server 2008 R2 Beta release?
LOL, I loved the iPod wheel video, it's really well produced
As for the video, it somehow lost all of the links, but it should be fixed now
That Surface demo is one of my favorite WiimoteLib uses.
but its so plausable
i guess i should have know it was a fake when the reporter says the second wheel will 4ounces lighter because of the lack of strainging hard drive or wheel
not living in the us makes it hard too because its what a fox news news cast could totaly be
Nice show guys!
Disclaimer: I haven't it tried it personally yet but I have also heard that it works, and the steps should be similar to that of installing other operating systems into Virtual PC.
First make sure you are running Virtual PC 2007 SP1. Help -> About should show 6.0.192.0.
I think Vista Home Premium might be one of the operating systems that Virtual PC isn't supported on, so you might get a warning to that effect. It should still work - but it's not "supported" per se, so that just means that if you have to call Microsoft Support they won't be able to help you troubleshoot it.
Then after you download the beta you'll have an ISO file. That ISO file is bootable and can be mounted within Virtual PC. Start a fresh VHD file and boot it up, then mount the ISO, then (since the ISO will not be found on your first attempt) restart and it should find it and allow you to boot to the ISO for installing Win7. If you've never done this before just refer to the Virtual PC instructions (search for "ISO" and it should be your first result).
It might take you a few minutes of playing around with it to see how this works but fundamentally it's no different than installing a new operating system on a fresh PC.
Good luck, and happy Win7'ing!

Installing Windows 7 in VPC was also REALLY fast!
So far there seems no difference between this and the speed of XP which came with it.
One thing I do need to sort out is the Touch Pad as it seems to be clicking as I'm typing. Currently windows thinks its a PS2 compatible mouse.

I've noticed Windows 7 Beta crashing a lot on me, especially Explorer (taskbar, startmenu, and explorer itself), so for me it hasn't been the most stable of experiences. I have to reboot daily, sometimes even hourly. But here's to hoping a lot of those issues get fixed soon!
