Windows Live Movie Maker

All in all Windows Live Movie Maker is decent freeware that lives up to its promise of making movies fast. Regardless, Microsoft would do well, at the very least, to build more sharing plug-ins and a fleshier Help menu.

Reviews

  • MobileMe

    MobileMe is the successor to .Mac, Apple's subscription service for publishing photos and other personal content to the Web.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

    Adobe Acrobat 9 document-creation software is adding dynamic features such as integration of animation, dynamic maps, 256-bit encryption, and improved forms. We've been playing with the beta edition of Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.

  • Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac

    Microsoft plans to release Office for Mac 2008 on January 15, making this the first update in about four years. We've tested beta versions of the new applications over the last month without running into glitches.

  • Norton Internet Security 2007

    Norton Internet Security 2007 makes significant gains over last year, including cutting-edge rootkit and behavioural monitoring features found nowhere else, but the overall package could be serious overkill for the average desktop owner.

  • Microsoft Excel 2007 RTM

    Excel 2007's radical overhaul is attractive if you depend upon spreadsheets that can display data patterns visually with charts and conditional formatting. Plus, the new interface places formulas and other number-crunching tools within easy reach.

  • Microsoft Office 2007 RTM

    Microsoft is all set to ship Office 2007 to big businesses within the next month, and to the general public early next year. Here's what the radical changes have in store for users.

  • Microsoft Word 2007 RTM

    Word 2007's revamped interface and new file format are a big departure from earlier versions. These changes may demand big adjustments from users of Word 2003.

  • Norton AntiVirus 2007

    By rewriting much of the code, Symantec made Norton AntiVirus 2007 faster and lighter than its 2006 version, but a few glitches here and there keep us from granting it our Editors' Choice award.
