Comments from those who selected PhotoStory as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2007

• "a free Microsoft tool which makes slide presentations more animated and is easy to use. Just download it from the Microsoft site." Ramona Dietrich
• "Free authoring tool which is from Microsoft, uncharacteristically simple to use! I get pupils and learners to create cool slideshows with bells, whistles and a voice overlay. The biggest drawbacks are no export to flash and size of saved presentation - a monstrous AVI file."  Seaghan Moriarty
• "Easy to use for digital story telling, powerful tool for learners to express themselves with. Also like Animoto for this purpose"  Anne Paterson
