highly recommended

iLife 06 is the next generation of Apple's award-winning digital lifestyle suite. It features iPhoto 6 with blazing performance and new Photocasting features. Now more than ever, it's clear that the Mac is the ultimate platform for the digital lifestyle. Special Family Pack license for installation on up to 5 Macs. NOTE - Mac OS X v10.4.4 or later is required for iPhoto Photocasts and iMovie HD themes.

Excellent update

iLife 06 is a worthy upgrade. With iWeb, I was able to generate a completely new site from scratch very easily. The upgrades to iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD were also welcome, with both speed and feature improvement.

Ripped Off

I purchased this product, expecting to install on ALL of my Macs. After upgrading my G3 laptop to Mac OS X Version 10.4.8, most of the iLife applications disappeared and couldn't be reinstalled using the Apple iLife '06 Family Pack DVD. And, short of buying USED versions of iLife '05 or '04 seperately (Apple doesn't sell them), I couldn't find any other way of installing iLife applications that would run on my G3. Shouldn't I be given the option of using my up-to-date Apple iLife '06 Family Pack to download elements of older versions of iLife from Apple's website that would run on my G3? Why should I have to purchase older used versions at additional expense when I've already upgraded to the latest version?

Enahnced features, new apps, so what.

I've been a Mac advocate since I switched from Windows to Mac in 2003 and may even consider myself a Mac biggot howeveer, I'm not that impressed with iLife 06 as I'm not really gaining any noticable functionality, features. The new program iWeb is a concept thats been done successfully by two others, Sandvox and RapidWeaver. In either case, their functionality and features far outweigh that of iWeb and give me no reason what so ever to use iWeb. I am a .Mac subscriber and am even thinking that's becomming a waste of my money as I'm not that impressed with their email system but thats another story.

Bottom line, aside from some minor enhancements and tweaks to iPhoto and GarageBand with iMovie HD, I don't see that much benefit from iLife 06 and believe I'll think twice before getting the next release. Particularly if iWeb still only connects to .Mac in the future.

I should have waited for '08

The title says it all. Not a major improvement over '05.
The web interactivity is not quite there yet.
