I need to know if Windows 7 , at least the Ultimate version, has Windows Movie Maker in it.

I have the RC of 7 build 7100 on my laptop and it does not have it in the program list.

Anyone know if the RTM of 7 has it?:confused2

    Well that's kinda dumb, they aren't including Movie Maker in 7. And Movie Maker hasn't been updates from version 2.1 in over 5 years!

    Surely they could make a newer and better version available!

    I'll download that 2.6 version on my laptop and see how it does there.

    I was thinking about getting 7, but if Movie Maker is not going to work, that's all the reason I need to stay with XP, because producing my webshow needs Movie Maker.

    They can't include it because the EU and the USDOJ would flip their shit.

    Okay, next question on this subject. I've had a FireWire card in my PC for years to import video from my Mini-DV camera.

    My HP DV6000 laptop has 3 USBs, but no FireWire port.

    How can I connect my Mini-DV camera to the laptop to upload video into it?

    I'm sure these USBs are 2.0, the laptop is too new for them not to be 2.0 .

    Buy a firewire PCMCIA/Express card.

    This laptop does not have a PCMCIA slot.

    Buy a firewire Expresscard.

    (Or use the mini firewire port on the side).

    Unless you tell us/link exactly what model, I have to base this on web searches.

    One of these should fit in your HP DV6000 to enable IEEE 1394 ports.

    DV6405US has 1 x ExpressCard/54 Slot (also supports ExpressCard/34). The cards at the Newegg link should work.
