I find it harder. you have to look at everything with a stupid eye when your using that program. you have to think like a retard to understand the retarded terms they invent to make thigns "simpler" magic movie? wtf is this!

I think windows movie maker is actualy a better program than imovie, and thats not a compliment for either program.

I wouldnt go with vegas, its a complicated interface ( I think its a stupid one) but once your used to it (which I was at one point) it goes well. final cut on the other hand is straight forward and logical. use final cut over vegas. depending on your experience though you might want to go for an easier program but I say fuck it final cut is easy to do simple stuff

Personally, i have to disagree. As far as super entry level editing programs go, iMovie HD is pretty damn awesome. I agree that some of the things have been TOO dumbed down though. However i definitely wouldn't say Windows Movie Maker is better. Anything i have ever made with it (actually only one thing to be honest) always comes out slightly messed up when i export it, things like audio being out of sync and stuff. iMovie hasn't had that problem for me. Just generally speaking i find it to be much better.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion though.

yeah screw vegas. learn imovie then get final cut express or pro. the hardest part for me when switching from mac to pc was actually learning how to use my mac.
