How do I download the videos?

Why should I download videos from Channel9?

- 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)

The Expression Blend 3.0 SketchFlow feature changes the game when it comes to both developers and designers becoming integrated on the development and design process. Prototype WPF and Silverlight Applications with amazing speed. Provide review, feedback and documentation with ease.
What is it?
It’s a new set of features specifically targeted at making it easier and faster to design, communicate, and review prototypes for interactive applications and interactive content.
Download Site *: http://expression.microsoft.com/en-us/cc507094.aspx
Example Problem(s) it solves:
- Provides a ‘white board’ approach to an application diagram for interactive flow
- Similar to Powerpoint prototype:
- but is non-linear
- No upper limits – can use scribbles, draw UI elements or use standard UI elements
- It’s a real Silverlight or WPF application
- You can design screens from other screens
- Reviewers can annotate prototypes while they are running
Installation Notes:
SketchFlow feature is not available yet (ETA sometime soon)
* Usage Notes: 3.0 is not out yet (however an Expression Blend 3 Preview is available without SketchFlow)
