Apple iLife '04 user reviews

Pros I've tried numerous programs for both Mac and PC, but this one (or these five) wins in every category. All of the problems from the original iLife, such as speed issues in iPhoto and iMovie, have been fixed, and Apple has added great new features. Already

Cons Minor stability issues, iDVD still does not support external DVD writers.

Pros This is a great suite, something that the Windows world still lacks. I can tell horror stories of just getting a video editing program that works like Imovie on the PC, I can't find one, all the offerings are crap oe way or another (lack of functionality

Cons Some of the elements of the interface are a bit weird, there is no way, for example, of selecting all songs from the library (I mean ticking them all to be included in the random play, etc.) you have to do it by hand. It is only for the Apple :-(

Pros Apple always makes great running apps. The speed increase of iPhoto and GarageBand make this a necessary purchase.

Cons CNET says G4s only for GB. NOT TRUE! You can run it on a G3 but it just won't have the same functionality. HOW limited, I don't know yet since it's not out.. but don't be misled!

Pros Haven't tried the latest version, but its obvious CNET is letting that prevent them from writing nonsense. YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO GET .MAC FOR $100 / YEAR!! WHY WRITE THIS NONSENSE??!!

Cons Seems a desparate and biased attempt to put anything Apple in a poorer light. Pathetic.
