BUT ! you will need to be running 64 bit windows, and also 54 bit linux for the latest versions. ( there are also older 32 bit versions for linux if you happen to run that )

It seem to be a strait forward editor, and without trying it out it do look as it well and truly 1 up the pathetic windows movie maker.

Seems a little involved ( room for errors ) just in the install alone .
Does not appear to be stand alone ...
Apparently still very buggy ... ( some functions invoke the blue screen of death )
Windows movie maker is no longer available for Download form MS ..
And from where you can get it , it looks to be bundled with CrapWare !

I haven't looked at video editors for a long time .... Might be time to take another look ..
Thing about Movie maker , it worked within its limits , and worked reliably . ( I was never fond of it )

Instability always happens when you first port something to a different os. And as is typical of big Linux apps, you usually need to also install the framework they use in Linux (typically gtk - gimp tool kit). This is no different than windows apps - they need their own frameworks too, such as visual c++ redistributable, ms .net framework, Java, etc. Most installers will simply prompt you to install whatever prerequisites they need (vc++, gtk, jre, etc) as part of the install so it's pretty seamless for most folks.

I will have to try out kdenlive on Windows. Right now it's the only reason I dual boot my PC. Having just windows on the machine would simplify things quite a bit.
 
Hmmm , I run different flavors of linux on Virtual Box

Yeah VMs can be useful but sometimes it's better to have it running directly on the hardware for better performance. Yes, some hypervisors basically do that but I don't think virtual box is one.
 
VB is a compromise , and some linux'es run well and others don't .
But its a quick and easy way to find flavors of Linux one might like , and there is little restriction on the number of linux flavors you can have ..
One can created Virtual HDD's , or run the Linux on a virtual CD/DVD drive .. ( What ever floats your boat - Security Bla bla bla ! )

Really hard to hack or infect a Virtual OS ....

I like VB for all those reasons , + I can run old windows , sometimes you really need XP ( Sad but true )
The only windows I have failed with is 95 , cant get past the Floppy Drive ...
