The problem is that it doesn't tell me it's going to let me have that option.

Windows too often decides to do an update that will give me X extra stuff that I don't trust signing up for something like windows live just to get an included free movie player

Perhaps a true windows believer would 'defiantly' want Windows Live ?

Yes it's all fixed in Win7 if you just want to roll over and let it force you to use IE and Bing and Hotmail for everything.

As soon as you try not to use IE suddenly you can't do anything

I tried to download it - their new simple solution is to include it as part of Windows Live.

So I want a simple movie editor to clip 5secs off the beginning of a home movie - BUT to do this I have to sign up for an MS specific hotmail account, create a windows passport (I thought they had abandoned that?) get Windows messenger, windows photo viewer and be included in a whole bunch of MS specific social websites.

So I found a torrent of Movie maker 2.6 for XP - it works perfectly on Win7.

And he hasn't won the libel war battle, the other side simply retracted the case.

So no court decision, no new case law and nothing to stop them issuing a new writ tomorrow and doing it all over again - or them doing it to somebody else who can't afford $200,000 in legal fees to defend themselves.

I thought it was refreshing to read an article by somebody who was obviously involved - rather than just a puff piece written by a PR person who had never seen a helicopter

Until they move to Canada - then they remove them again. I always got looks for removing my shoes at work, it's much more comfortable to wear socks.
