Apple Software iLife '08 Family Pack

All Mac users are familiar with iLife because it's included free with every new Mac. But the new version may surprise even the most stalwart Mac users. "This is the biggest jump in iLife since we introduced it." So said Steve Jobs when he unveiled iL

Apple's iLife suite comes free with each new Mac sold, but is also available as a standalone package. The new version, designated iLife '08, has been heavily revamped, with major rewrites to the core applications iPhoto and iMovie. As before, Apple'

"Useless, CONFUSING upgrade."

The changes to iMovie alone are utterly frustrating. To have spent years establishing a workflow only to have it ripped away by Apple is grounds to switch to Adobe. Don't bother upgrading unless you just like to try new, frustrating interfaces for th

"Fun, easy, efficient."

I loved everything except iMovie they could have kept some of the features in iMovie '06 but the rest of the programs are great. But i am glad that for those people like iMovie '06 they left it in your hard drive if you wished to use it.

"Great peice of software for average user"

Here is the deal. I purchased Ilife and after reading everyones review went back to the mac store to return it. I really wanted to try the imovie even though everyone said it is a watered downed version of 06 so I changed my mind while standing at

"Disappointing"

Very disappointed in the new New iMovie. Although it looks nice, it feels less intuitive. They've reduced the number of features such as transitions and title options. Removing the time line view and multiple audio tracks is definitely the worst p

"Very Unhappy"

Not happy I invested in iLife'08. Especially regarding "downgrades" to iMovie'08, Back to iMovie '06 HD for me. I never jump at first release of anything but fell for the hype this time!
