Hi,
I plan to buy a new PC and my budget allow me to have only Vista Home basic installed.

Would like to check is windows movie maker come in Vista home basic ?
If not, how to have it enable ?

I still very confuse if vista home basic really come with movie maker (i just need the basic feature to teach my kid). I went to Computer retail shop and they show me a PC with Vista home basic come with windows movie maker but when i read microsoft web site, seems like 1 site say no, but another site still introduce movie maker in home basic edition..Very confuse. (2 links as below) :

I just want to use the basic movie editing future to teach my kid how to use windows movie maker.

Appreciate your help !!

I would believe it does, as XP Home came with it. You might be getting it confused with Windows Media Center, which does not come with Vista Home Basic.

Now I would highly recommend getting Vista Home Premium, as it has many more multimedia features and other features.

Vista Home Basic does include Windows Movie Maker.
