Free, Cheap, and Wonderful: Photo Story 3

It's not often that Microsoft creates a free piece of software that really shines and has few strings attached. Their new Photo Story 3 is not only free, but is pretty darn easy to use. Best of all, you can quickly take digital photos and create a Ken Burn's style documentary effect such that you begin or end on a key region of a particular image. This can be used to add drama or to focus attention on important information and features in an image, making Photo Story 3 of potential use for educators.
