PC counterpart to MAC program?

Hi, my name is Scott and I have been looking around at the different products on the market for video editing. I really enjoy Vegas 5, but the titling capabilities are slim to none. Sometimes I end up using Windows Movie Maker to do the titling I need (yuck).
My question is this: What are some good Titling/Graphics programs that I can use, and can they be integrated with Vegas? MAC's 'Motion' software is pretty neat, I wish I had something like that for the PC. Thanks.

I'm a little confused as to how you'd find more titling tools in Windows Movie Maker than in Vegas. The Media Generator tools in Vegas are much more versatile than what Moviemaker offers. They're a little less obvious, but still pretty easy to use. However, there are other choices on the PC Platform as well.

I believe Motion seems designed to compete with AfterEffects, which is dual platform. Graffiti is another popular app for titling.

Boris Graffiti Limited is INCLUDED with Vegas 5, right? At least it was for me.

Also, Wax I believe has some titling effects. I don't think it can do anything too fancy, but it can do more than Vegas, and it's free and will run as a plug-in in Vegas.

Bluff Titler, Wild Fx PRo, Hyroglyph ? or something like that name it was in a recent issue of Vegas Tips & tricks newsletter.
To name a few

I also recall comments that you can apply FX effects within Vegas to the generated text. There's also Ulead Studio 3D which produces some good low-cost stuff.

And.... swish is also a reasonably cheap tool you can use for titling (as swf files are now compatible with V5)
