The new Windows Live pack includes "Movie Maker Beta" version which provides the new ribbon interface but many advanced users are not happy with this new version. Lots of essential features like timelines, adding text on videos, audio edits, etc have been removed from this new version to make the application simple and easy to use.
But IMO these removed features were the most important and essential features in Movie Maker and now the stripped beta version is a bit useless for lots of people.
If you also feel the same and want to get the good old Movie Maker with all the required features, then here is a good news for you. Microsoft has released Movie Maker 2.6 for Windows Vista which also works in Windows 7.

So download it from following link and install in your Windows if you miss the old Movie Maker:

Hi Vishal
Can this version Movie Maker 2.6 be run alongside the newer Movie Maker Beta in Vista or will it overwrite the Beta version. I would like to keep both versions if at all possible but no problem if not? However, although I can open Movie Maker in Vista Ultimate, in help>about windows movie maker in the menu bar, it doesn't say anything about it being a Beta version? Only that it is just version 6, with a build number in brackets? No mention of Beta at all? Many thanks for this help and all you hard work. Glad your dad is feeling a lot better as well! Great news!

^^ I have not checked whether you can run both versions together or not but I'm 99% sure you can. So you'll need to give a try.

Yes, you can run both together but under help>about windows movie maker, it says the same for both versions. In other words, they are both the one that comes with Vista according to the help>about window? Although they are both different? Typical MS, couldn't get it right if they tried! Hehehe!
