I'll agree with you halfway. While installing third-party
software does add stuff to the registry, there are some
things in Windows that are either limited ar just plain
crap, like the built in CD-burning capabilities.
If you want to do any type of video editing, Movie Maker
will do the basics, but that's about it. Another thing is
that you're limited to saving the videos as .wmv format.
I used to use it to make simple music videos and such,
but to get decent quality (please not decent, not good) a
4 minute clip took up 80 megs. With third party software
you can get much better quality for less space.
I've never been all too keen on installing any software
that comes with a camera or the like. With my digital
camera, I have an SD reader built into my laptop, and I'm
just going to get a reader for my desktop. It's less
hassle, less cables, and lees junk on your computer and
under your desk (if that's where you keep your comp...).
Hope this helps,
Nick
