I dont see why anyone would want to upgrade iLife for $79 now if Leopard, which we think will be out in a cpl months, is going to have it.
 
iLife is a separate product. It will not be included with Leopard.
 
Separate programs, but all new computers sold with Leopard will also come with the new iLife.

I guess when I heard "all new macs come with iLife" I assumed it was incorporated into OSX, and not actually a stand alone app.

why? its a package of programs thats all. and they include it with new machines. Buying Leopard doesn't mean you're buying a new mac.
 
when Leopard is released and distributed with new computers, the restore DVDs will likely have both the OS and iLife on them. (that is how it is now with my Tiger restore DVDs.) however, iLife is a separate suite of applications and will not be integrated into the OS.

Dude, I understand ok? I didnt know iLife was a separate apps from the OS. Is that so hard to understand?

Ive only had my mac for a year. Alot of what I heard before I bought it was how great the iLife apps were. I just assumed it was a part of Tiger.

This is also why I just assumed it was integrated. There was no separate install disc for it, it just came on the restore discs.
