WTF, do you mean that almost nothing can edit WMV, or does Windows Movie Maker lock the files somehow?
According to virtualdub: "Microsoft owns US Patent #6,041,345 on the ASF file format, preventing third party applications from extracting data from ASF files"
WMV is a subtype of ASF, and so this probably has something to do with it.

Yes it does
If you have WMM V2 then there is the option of saving as a DV-AVI, which produces a very high quality avi file. Unfortunately, these files can be huge, and therefore can take a long time to create.
Thus you can use WMM, if you are willing to wait, and then probably re-encode the movie again in something other than WMM to reduce filesize.
