This may well be a five star product for many users. My problem is that I only use iPhoto and it is likely that I will continue to use only iphoto. iphoto is a great product. It is a wonderful way to store your photos and to show them to others. It is always enhanced in each update and continues to star. iphoto is worth all 5 stars. However, you also end up with all of these other programs, which I almost never use. I think I used imovie once to join some cooking videos into one big cooking video. That was it. Mac updates this product almost constantly which means that the consumer is constantly upgrading to the new versions of software he or she may never use. Another problem is that I spent one year belonging to Mac’s mobile me, didn’t like it, and the web builder attached to this really is meant to work with mobile me. Consequently, I now use an open source (free) web builder instead. I love the 3 products associated with iWork and have given that 5 stars. But the overkill and constant update factor here makes me lower iLife to 4 stars.
