Buying Guide: Apple iLife '08

Apple iLife '08 is the easiest way to make and share beautiful multimedia. If you have a small child, faraway family members, and a Mac, it's a must-buy. And if you've never dared make a movie before, the new iMovie is for you.

iLife is five programs for $79, a great value—each of the individual programs is worth the price for the package. It combines iPhoto, the best program out there for organizing and ordering prints of your photos; iMovie, a basic but almost unbelievably easy video editor; iWeb, a template-based Web design program; iDVD, which turns iPhotos and iMovies into slick, attractive DVDs; and GarageBand, which lets you record podcasts and assemble basic soundtracks from musical loops.
