"The Chase Film" by Intel (on Windows 7)
John Bristowe
From the video's description:
To build excitement around the 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i5 processor, Intel is launching an action-adventure video titled "The Chase." The spot demonstrates the performance capabilities of the new processors by creating an action-movie style chase sequence that takes place through a wide variety of program windows on a computer desktop.
Clever stuff.

Awesome stuff.
A Quick Video on Visual Studio 2010 Extensions
John Bristowe
One of my favourite additions to Visual Studio 2010 is the support for extensions.
Extensions are plug-ins that complement the featureset of Visual Studio 2010 and make the product (overall) much better through their addition. The reality is this: we can’t implement everything, but we have some amazing Partners and members of the developer community who can. By enabling this capability, we lower the bar of entry for these folks to extend the capabilities of Visual Studio 2010 so that the community (as a whole) can benefit.
He’s a quick screencast I recorded that highlights extensions and how they work:
