Windows Movie Maker 2.6 available for Vista, Windows 7

Those of you who have run a recent Windows Live installation may have seen Windows Live Movie Maker. It's an attractive update, and a very simple way to put put together home video on your Windows computer. It does, however, lack some features users of good old Windows Movie Maker enjoyed.
If you've been waiting for an updated version to appear, you're in luck.
Microsoft has made version 2.6 of Movie Maker available for download, and it runs on both Windows Vista and Windows 7. While advanced users are likely using a more sophisticated video editing program, there's no denying that Movie Maker is an excellent, full-featured option for the average home user.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

What he means is, does this support AVCHD. The high def encoding that HD Camera's use. Movie Maker for Vista does not support this format, so if you want to easily edit HD video, you have to turn to other software.

Actually when I said "Does this one also lack HD options?" I was comparing it to the Live Movie Maker, which lacks HD export options. So essentially this is just the Windows Movie Maker that was included in XP? No HD features?

Worse. It's basically the XP version with some of it's features stripped out; in other words this sucks. This will run on XP if you copy the files over, so I thought cool a free upgrade. Found out it was actually a downgrade. Very lame Microsoft.

How is this better than the WMM that shipped with Vista? I think this is only good for Win7 users who don't get WMM installed with the OS.

It's actually worse than the version in XP. I don't know what they were thinking.

"Movie Maker 2.6 is for Windows Vista users whose computer cannot run the Vista version of Movie Maker"
That with the 2007 release date should answer all questions above ;)

when I try to run this on Windows 7 I get "Windows Movie Maker cannot be used because the required audio hardware cannot be found on your computer." How do I fix this.
