Windows Movie Maker has been in every version of Windows since Me... Windows XP and Windows Vista... but it's not in Windows 7.
Microsoft recommends the free download of the the latest Windows Live Suite, which includes Windows Live Movie Maker (WLMM) for Vista and Windows 7 (XP doesn't support WLMM). That gets you the newest version, but one considerably slimmed down in features from MM2.1 in XP or MM6 in Vista. It's good for quickly and easily making a video and uploading to YouTube, but not for anything close to the kinds of serious editing you can do with the classic versions of Movie Maker.
MM2.6 has the features to fully edit and produce a video, but it doesn't have the importing feature of MM2.1. For that, you can use the import wizard in the Windows Live Suite.
I've copied MM1 and MM2.1 from my XP system and MM6 from my Vista system, registered the DLLs and they are working fine. But I havn't yet added the thousands of extra 3rd party special effects and transitions that are on my XP and Vista computers.
Importing Video
In addition to the newest version of Movie Maker, the Windows Live Suite includes a video import wizard that works with a mini-DV or digital8 camcorder connected by firewire. MM1 and MM2.1 also work fine to capture video from my mini-DV camcorder, when connected by firewire.
Imported video clips can be browsed in the folders of the Windows LIve Photo Gallery or imported into the collections of the classic versions of Movie Maker.
Starting with no version of Movie Maker in Windows 7, I'm now running with five of them.
Making Video Clips from Still Pix
Photo Story 3 is a favorite of many when it comes to making those neat Ken Burns style video clips from high quality still pictures. First developed for XP, the app downloaded, installed and ran fine on the beta releases of Windows 7. Clips produced can be used in Windows Live Movie Maker or classic Movie Maker projects. But, as I noted above, the final Windows 7 release doesn't support installation of PS3.
