Looking for recommendations on a video editing tool

Unfortunately, Microfuckingsoft decided that Windows 7 users are too dumb, lazy, or unmotivated to actually use REAL VIDEO EDITING skills, stuff like timelines, adding narrations, and so forth. So they took all that stuff out when they "upgraded" Moviemaker for Windows 7.

Fuck them.

Fuck them, fuck them, fuck them.

Thank you. ::ahem:: sorry...

Anyway.

I need to use Powerpoint slides to make a video, and add narration to it.

I do not want to spend vast amounts of cash on some big, complicated, full-service video editing suite.

Any suggestions?

Anyone know a nice freeware or shareware package that can handle powerpoint files or use .jpgs of slides, and allow me to add narration at my own pace, and convert it into a video format that can be uploaded to YT?

Anyone?

help....? please....??

pathetically,
Bright

Some of them might not work in Windows and frankly I haven't tried a single one but hey, it's a start.
