[QUOTE="Village Idiot, post: 463935, member: 29446"] OS X is more than iLife...at least it must be, because I don't think that I would own a mac if the only program available was iLife. This isn't a Windows vs. OS X thread. I was merely asking who would use programs that give you greater control over the final product vs. iLife's integration if price were not an issue. See above. I don't believe that people that use iLife are idiots, I was just stating that the way some of the programs handle files and such is kind of screwy if you're using files and such other than in the programs. I also stated that I have not used iLife 08. But with using iPhoto and iWeb and garage band and such, that they're just not usefull if you want to use them for anything more than basic purposes. You can build some nice web sites with iWeb, but you have to use iPhoto for the pictures and if you want to do anything really advanced, it's not the tool for it, something like Dreamweaver would be better suited for that. iPhoto would put all my pictures in to roll folders that were named "Roll1", "Roll2", etc...and if you wanted to use photoshop to edit them, then it would be like a scavenger hunt trying to find the right picture. I also own a studio. We do graphic design, recording, and videography. iLife just doesn't cut it for that... But if you had a choice between iLife and a set of programs like CS3, Final Cut, and Logic and money wasn't an option, then what would you go with. I too work in an IT department all day, and when I come home, I'm also not in a mood to mess with stuff and want everything to be easy, that's why I prefer to catalouge my own files so I know where they are and have programs that will do exactly what I want them too. I did also [/QUOTE]
