editing

I am looking for suggestions for video editing programs like iMovie, which are dead simple to use. We just need basic editing and titling features for making videos of our kids slightly more watchable. Nothing too fancy. The major requirement is that it needs to be extremely easy to use even without prior editor experience.

We're running Windows XP on some machines and Vista the rest.

Free is preferred however ease-of use trumps price.
