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…”
I wrap up GDC 2010 with an interview with Shawn Hargreaves about
XNA Game Studio 4.0. I think Microsoft picked a perfect event to show off
XNA Game Studio 4.0. With XNA 3.1 developers were able build games that ran on the Zune, Xbox 360 and Windows PC's, but 4.0 is going to include the Windows Phone 7 series. Here is some info below on some of our other GDC 2010 content. Don't forget to
watch Channel 9 during MIX10 to get all of your Windows Phone 7 information.

Does this mean the hardware requirements for WM7 are more powerful than Zune HD?
that halo demo in the back looks sweet!
so what kind of feature set in trems of 3d does xna4 have? shaders? (what level), compute shaders even?
They aren't actual programmable shaders but configurable effects available through the XNA Framework. We have a few of them available that can be customized through C#.
ok
dx11 on windows phone had been hot though 
maybe for rev2 
looking forward to more info at mix
They said there's no HLSL support at launch for Phone, probably at a later release (but nothing official yet). It ships with some set of fixed-function effects.
OpenGL ES 2.0 is entirely shader based (like DirectX 10) and supported on the iPhone 3GS. Granted very few programs use it because older versions of the hardware only support the fixed function OpenGL ES 1.1, but still, shader support should be in a new device IMO. Fixed function is so old fashioned.
ok :/
it whould seem like the tegra2 chips would support some shaders atleast.. but i dont know really
like rhm said, fixed functions just seems so 2004
