    Photo Gallery vs. Windows Live Photo Gallery?

    I just installed Vista x64 and don't know what the difference between the "Windows Photo Gallery" that comes with Vista and the "Windows Live Photo Gallery" I can download. Is the download a newer version? Should I install it or just use the one that came with vista?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi TheGreatGazoo,

    Welcome to the forum.

    It really just depends on what features are more useful to you. It seems that Windows Live Photo Gallery will work seamlessly with Live Spaces.

    You can compare the features from the two at these links to see which one you like better.


    Windows Photo Gallery:

    Windows Live Photo Gallery:

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn
