I made the bright decision to download the fancy newfangled Windows Live Movie Maker. It has an extra word; it must be good. So the first time I run this, it asks me to update the program. Why wasn’t this update included in the installer? I had to download the update, install that, and then run Windows Live Movie Maker. Who are the twits that code this garbage? And worst of all… it didn’t even have a storyboard. Sure, it’s beta software, but how are you supposed to make videos without a storyboard. This isn’t beta. Maybe alpha.

Even worse, everything that can be done in Windows Live Movie Maker can be done with Microsoft Office PowerPoint. In fact, it was worse than PowerPoint. It had fewer transitions, timing features, and everything. It’s embarrassing that they even released this. I’m having doubts about Windows 7 now too.

It seems that the Windows Live Movie Maker team’s idea of new is changing the color scheme and adding a dynamic resizing scrollbar at the bottom.
