I decided to download Movie Maker so I went to Microsoft.com. They have a Downloads menu there. I clicked "All Windows Downloads". (The site is pretty fast, BTW). I selected "Windows 7", then scrolled down until I found Movie Maker. I clicked "Get it now" and it showed me the Movie Maker page. On that page I clicked Download Now, and it started downloading!
What I never really understood about that is that nothing happened after that. No heads rolling, no massive rehash of the process, it just limped on being an utterly lame duck for another decade. Until they are finally bringing out something like a first class app store now.
Just shows the lack of direction the product was getting when you hear the totally different results that Steve Jobs got. Admittedly BG was no longer CEO then.
The funny thing is that it's 4th result. The first one leads to some page with "Looking for Movie Maker?" text. The second and the third one lead to some irrelevant pages.
