Is this 4.2 update some kind of a joke or what?

People have been encouraged to believe that all things Apple just flow seamlessly. So, when you do an Apple update you expect it will be seamless. When it's not then it becomes, for this writer at least, a cognitively dissonant experience. Granted, it's not the end of the world, and no one is perfect. I remain a true, longstanding Apple fan. However, I'm used to believing Windows to always be a pain, not Apple. Just to highlight this further, many folks are rather disappointed with the new Ilife 11 software, saying it's a step backward from 09, and commenting on how this is surprising in that it comes from Apple. It is surprising.

Apple needs to go to lengths, as necessary, to maintain its distinctive niche in the computer and software arena, and not allow itself to weaken in that regard. Quality of product and ease of use is what we have come to expect from Apple. After all, that's why we pay a premium for Apple over Microsoft based stuff.

for this writer at least,

What, are you a pro?

If something as simple as a software update cause you to experience "cognative dissonance" you have bigger issues than a minor software bug.

I was commenting my friend. Merely, commenting. Why are you looking for a fight?

Let's keep this peaceful please. No arguing.

Please don't worry. Not even about to engage.

You must be reading and hearing different things than I am.

Perhaps. Please go to Apple's own website (the store) and look under software. Go to Ilife 11 and click on reviews.

Have a pleasant evening.

Um, that's not really a scientific or even accurate way to gauge the success of a piece of software. Just saying. Product reviews at Apple's site tend to be pretty whiny for the most part anyway.

I can point to just as many reviews and people who like the software. So trying to make blanket statements that everyone hates iLife 11 is pretty overreaching.

Not sure why you seem to post negatively about Apple almost every post you make, you are aware of the purpose of this forum right?

To back what Schweb is saying, you can find negative reviews of almost any product if you look hard enough, especially today with so much on the Internet! Everything I own has some bad reviews that totally contradict my experiences with the same product.

I have read about a few small issues with iLife 11 that I am sure will be fixed in an update. Every software has some bug somewhere that is later fixed.

Truly love my MBP. Never use a PC anymore if I can avoid it. Now that I have my do dad Ipad working again, I'll keep it too.

I had an Apple IIe in 1985. An Apple IIc later, and then a Mac SE. Loved em all. Oh, I forgot the Power Mac. My kids grew up with that one. Finally pulled the trigger on the MBP when the price dropped in mid 2009 after struggling with PCs for a long time because they were cheaper and had more software. Glad I did. Won't go back. Expecting Apple will continue its tradition of great quality and ease of use.

I'm for Apple every step of the way.

Have a pleasant night. Peace, Schweb.

I think that's code for "You win schweb". Just sayin.
