 How in-depth do you need this software to be?  (Simple cuts, basic transitions, chroma-keying, cg, color correction, multi-camera, etc?)  Is this for a particular project or more of a "I want to learn" situation?

Windows Movie Maker is nice and simple. It only produces WMV videos though. Maybe also VideoThang, though that creates problems for me when I try playing videos in Windows Media Player.

Adobe Premiere Elements has a free trial offer, although I'm not sure what limitations the "trial" imposes.  Unlike many consumer based programs, it can handle unlimited video/audio tracks and real-time video rendering.  The full version is available for about 100$.   

Pinnacle Video Spin is free, but is also known for being buggy/crashing

Almost all non-linear editing systems use the same concepts and workflow...it's just a question of figuring out where the buttons are as you move from system to system.  Check here:

...for file format compatibility if you already have imported footage.
