NOTE: **Windows Movie Maker in Windows 7** “Windows Movie Maker has been in every version of Windows since Me... XP and Vista... but it's not in Windows 7. What does that mean to the community of Movie Maker users? Users can download and install Window Live Movie Maker or MM2.6….” [] The Microsoft download site for **Windows Movie Maker 2.6** [] shows it for Vista and does not mention Windows 7… The **Windows Live Movie Maker** page from Microsoft [|http://windowslive.com/desktop/moviemaker]has a version that works with Windows 7, but it may be a stripped down version of Movie Maker 2.6. This version is a part of Windows Live, which is apparently Microsoft's answer to Google Tools. Good luck...
