That's four steps too many, and you've missed the step where the user chooses that Movie Maker is the specific app they want. It should be:

1 - Bill searches for "video editing" or similar

2 - Bill runs an app he selects from the result list

Everything else is pandering to technical details. Advanced options can be presented as a right-click menu on the result list.

Ubuntu is pretty close to that...

Maybe it is. Windows isn't, and I can't see it getting there.
