Windows Movie Maker is bad, it is ok, for simple editing, but its lack of multi layer video and audio tracks, rendering to desired codecs of your choice.....you know i could go on for hours. Its main problem is that it is free, so therefore MS don't worry too much about perfecting it. Therefore it is a bit buggy and does lock up frequently when you have a lot of codecs installed on your system and when you are using short clips with lots of transitions/cuts. It is a known problem which they don't seem to worried about fixing.
Windows Movie Maker = Simple amateur films
Sony Vegas is a semi professional video editing package
Which version of Sony Vegas 7 do you have is it the first release 7a or a later patched on ie 7d ?
