UPDATE: Now With 147 Transitions and 76 effects
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 Microsoft allows you to download the good ol' Movie Maker 2.6 for Windows Vista which also works in Windows 7.
But its still a stripped down version. Features removed from original movie maker include the video capturing ability from devices like a dv camera etc.
So what to do now? Simple, "Devrexster" @ WinMatrix has created a portable version of "Movie Maker 2.6" which works in Windows XP, Vista and all Windows 7 builds. Since its a portable version, you don't need to install it.
You can download the portable version using following link:
Download Updated Portable Windows Movie Maker
It'll download a ZIP file, extract it and run the "Runonce.exe" file as Administrator. That's it. Now you can run the Movie Maker by double-clicking on "moviemk.exe" file.

It doesn't look like it's available for download anymore, VG. I tried it and I got a "File not found" error from DeviantART.
