Windows 2 Apples

iLife 08 is installed and I have had a chance to experiment with iMovie, GarageBand iPhoto and iWeb. As a relative iMac newbie, I suspect my comments regarding the new iMovie maybe a bet less harsh than those heaped on it by long time Apple users and admirers.

I bought into the Apple hype and waited to really spend much time learning iMovie until I upgraded to the much ballyhooed iMovie 08. As some may recall I hoped Apple would not follow the lead of Windows developers and just heap on a pile of unnecessary new features just to make a compelling argument to buy the latest upgrade. In the Windows world we have grudgingly grown expect code bloat and feature overload.

Well it does seem I had nothing to worry about from that quarter. Many old line Apple users are a bit miffed, to say the least, that Apple actually striped features in the name of enhanced easy of use.
