Several new items on Microsoft.com today have some interest for Windows XP enthusiasts:
The MSDN Channel 9 Web site has an online video interview with the team that developed the new Photo Story 3 for Windows XP.
In this video on Channel 9, Vladimir Rovinsky, lead program manager on the Photo Story team, demonstrates Photo Story 3.
Note: Channel 9 is on Microsoft's Web site for developers. It wasn't created for home users, but we thought some Expert Zone readers would enjoy this video.
