Windows Live Photo Gallery - Panorama Feature - Highly Recommended

I so totally love Windows Live Photo Gallery. For me, it was one of the best reasons to upgrade to Vista. The good news is Microsoft has made the upgraded version available for free as part their Live offerings and it's a must have install for Vista users and highly recommended for XP users as well who like digital images. In addition to all of the goodness  the Vista version had, the Live version adds the ability to create wonderful panoramas. Here's a few I've done here (all photos link to the full high res versions). This is about as simple as it gets (these are the full panoramas the program created, the only work done on them was to crop them). Microsoft's Live stuff has really matured quite nicely (Live Writer is my blog tool of choice) but remains a very well kept secret in consumer software :).
