Summary: I should have waited for '08
Comment: The title says it all. Not a major improvement over '05.
The web interactivity is not quite there yet.

Summary: No Upgrade Pricing
Comment: Apple has created a new version of iLife, and they provide no upgrade pricing, effectively sticking it to customers and vendors. If you buy this product, you will be stuck with the old version and have to pay FULL PRICE for the new version that contains a spreadsheet application.
And, yes, Apple deleted any comments complaining about the upgrade policy on their discussion boards.

Summary: Ripped Off
Comment: 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?

Summary: Excellent update
Comment: 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.

Summary: Enahnced features, new apps, so what.
Comment: 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.
