* You can trim audio files you add from within the program.
* Comes with quite a few "styles" (pre-set photo transition times, effects, and other eye candy related to how your output video will look).
* You can download many, many extra free "styles".

Vista already has built in software that does this.
Windows XP has a free download Microsoft Photo Story.
Picassa also does the same thing.

Many CD burning programs also offer this feature.
