This makes total sense. The original Vista version of Windows Movie Maker that didn’t work with many UMPC hardware profiles (and extracted a huge moan from me) can now be replaced with a new, working version just release by Microsoft.

Movie Maker 2.6 is for Windows Vista users whose computer cannot run the Vista version of Movie Maker.

JKK. Has just highlighted it in his blog. Thanks JKK! My upgrade path has just been cleared and I’m now considering my next UMPC purchase. Should it be the Samsung Q1 Ultra, should I wait for the HTC Shift or should I see what the 4 new UMPCs look like on April 18th?

Update: Ctitanic has confirmed that it works too.
