I also like this print preview feature for IE. ZDNet Windows Me includes Internet Explorer 5.5. So far, most of the changes in this public preview of the next version of IE are behind-the-scenes enhancements for developers. But there are a few nice touches, including better Internet printing and even the Print Preview feature shown here. Nothing wrong with this new feature either. ZDNet Apple has it. Microsoft couldn't be far behind. Windows Me has its own video editing application, called Windows Movie Maker. Developed by Microsoft, Movie Maker is a very basic editor that captures video (as well as still images and audio), slices footage into segments based on scene changes so you can rearrange it, and converts it to a highly compressed format so you can e-mail it or post it on the Web.

A few of the Win Me features look pretty good [...] --- You're just not going to go out and buy a new Windows Me PC to be your home network firewall and make your other PCs make sense by sharing an Internet connection. That'd be silly. --- If you bring me an old 486 David, two NIC cards and a can of yellow spray paint, I'll turn it into a secure firewall for you for FREE. --- You could spray paint the case while I ran the script, or I could show you how to do it, and then you can show someone else, or take some other old unused 486 and turn it into a similar firewall for several kids in some apartment building somewhere to share a single fast Internet connection through. If you don't have a 486, a fellow I know might GIVE you one (spray painted yellow) ync.org --- The big 'feature' these days is that computer operating systems are now FREE. --- That puts a serious crimp in the MS business model. -JCJ
