- If you have A store bought computer with Windows XP, it should have Winows Movie Maker on it. It's a good program for beginners. Other OS's might have it as well, or it could be for download, but WINXP is all that I know of.

- I've found that as a good guide.

If you're crazy enough to stay legal and try to use these tools instead of pirating Premiere, let me know, and I'll try to help.[/url]

Sweet! I'm glad you've gotten started on that guide, trythil! Now all I need to do is convince Gentoo to boot properly :p

Windows Millenium Edition ships with it as well. Funny, Microsoft's two worst systems ship with the movie maker. Windows 2000 is the small business edition of Windows ME but it does not have Movie Maker. I guess you have to trade Movie Maker for stability... I have tried taking Windows Movie Maker from XP and running it on my Windows 2000 machine (seeing as how they're both NT based) but no dice. I won't even try running the ME distribution in 2000 - my ME upgrade disc enters no computer under my ownership for any reason whatsoever. If Microsoft ever marketed a computer virus it was either called ME (stands for Multiple Errors) or XP (stands for eXtra Problems).

Ehhh :O

Windows 95, 98, Me all share the same code base.

Windows NT, 2000 & XP, all share similar code bases.

2000 is just NT with better program support and compatibility, XP is just 2000 with....uhhh a candy interface and some "tweaks".

You could pretty much group all the 9x OS cores together as none of them really improved apon the other a whole lot. Well '98 is okay, but Me really wasn't :\

However, I've run all versions of windows(well 3.11 and on up) at one point or another and have never had errors that prevent me from using my computer properly. Maybe slightly annoying errors, but nothing major.

Actually 3.11 was pretty shitty :p Half the problem was my computer though bad memory >_<.

Windows 2000 came out before Windows ME. February 2000 as opposed to August 2000 for Windows ME. 2000 was designed for corporate use, not small anything, although that's irrelevant if it gets the job done no matter who you are

That couldn't be more wrong if you'd said "Windows 2000 cures arthritis."

Windows ME = Windows 4.1b

Windows 2000 = Windows NT 5.0

Each is completely different from the ground-up. The NT kernel is far more stable and reliable.
