So does this mean that there will be a new Movie Maker or is it already available? I can't find anything online yet that looks new.

It's not out yet; this is all part of the Live "Wave 3" from what I can tell. It's coming soon but I don't know the date.

Ha! Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I exchanged mails with Jesse about an hour before I filmed this show. But believe it or not it was a completely unrelated topic.

Seriously, though, I honestly do not know when the Live Wave 3 stuff is due to ship. Maybe I can get our friend Angus Logan to chime in here.

I know the dates because we're working with one of the WL teams on something for Channel 9, but I don't know if we're allowed to share the dates.  Bring on Angus.  Tongue Out
