"Originally envisioned as part of Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 (see my review), and the successor to the most exciting application in Plus! Digital Media Edition (see my review), Microsoft Photo Story 3 was instead realigned as a standalone application that all Windows XP users will be able to download for free. And bravo to that decision, because Photo Story 3 is, arguably, the greatest tool ever made for digital photography enthusiasts. In this review, I'll examine the new features in Photo Story 3 and discuss how much it's improved since the Plus! Photo Story and Plus! Photo Story 2 days. But let me cut the chase right now: If you use Windows XP, you need to download Photo Story 3 immediately. It's that good."It's just announced, and Paul Thurrott already has a review ready to go. How does he do it? 8O I talked with Microsoft about Photo Story 3 a few months ago, and I was hopeful I'd get to beta test it for them, but it looks like that didn't happen. ;-) Check out Paul's excellent review.
