I know what you mean - the current Windows Live Movie Maker beta is really lame. I can say with some authority that future versions are much, much better.

In the meantime you can download the older, fully functional version of WMM directly from Microsoft:

I also noticed that, in addition to the progress bar on the icon, you can also see that the icon is stacked with the number of open windows of the app.

Default New (?) feature I just found

I'm not sure if anyone else had noticed, but if you double click on the top or bottom edge of any window (when the window is not expanded) and when the cursor is the double headed arrow (up/down), the window will span the full height of the screen.

Neat feature...won't be used too much, but nice touch from the Win7 developers.

Yes, that's one of the features touted in Windows 7.

Since I don't like my windows to stack, I'm using the old-school taskbar with labels on them. They still show the progress bar indicator if there's one.

Now if only Opera and Firefox took advantage of that.
