So, in summation: they managed to make Movie Maker less useful than the one that already comes with Vista or XP. Contrary to suggestions and vague accusations by Microsoft staff there's nothing spectacular going on with Messenger,
and Photo Gallery uses a faces feature that I'll use exactly once.
At least the calendar is finally usable. Only took them two years or so.
Congrats, guys. You managed to meet my expectations exactly. Damn it.
Don't forget the Vista versions will remain installed too, so you have two applications for the price of one!
