Thanks for providing live coverage, also. Very much appreciated.

The new GB tempts me most, but I think I'll stick to my "every other plan" and buy iLife 07. iLife 05 is already excellent and meets my needs.

Unless of course I get a nice new Intel Mac that happens to have 06 pre-loaded...

Ditto - I was going to write almost the exact same thing.

Question, can iWeb publish to ANY webpages (ie My Own Website) or is it JUST for .Mac?

From Apple's website:

"*iWeb publishing requires Internet and webserver access (.Mac recommended). The .Mac service is available to persons age 13 and older. Annual membership fee and Internet access required. Terms and conditions apply."

So it appears there is at least some sort of support for publishing to your own webserver.

Keep in mind that it might not support things like SFTP or even FTP. It might only support WebDav. I know I will be sticking to DreamWeaver, it's definitely lacking a code editor.

I am very happy with the updates Jobs announced to iPhoto. I was really tempted to pick up Aperture, just for the higher quality photobooks if nothing else, but couldn’t quite justify the price tag since I am by no means a power user when it comes to digital photography. From the looks of things, this new iPhoto will definitely suit all my needs, and then some! This is perfect timing, as I am eager to make some personalized wedding albums for my family in the near future.

Anyone know if brick & mortar Apple stores will have iLife today, or is it one of those things that's "available today" but only by ordering online? :D

I noticed the system requirements for iLife (and iWork) now list a G4 as a minimum. I wonder if that is just for the processor-intensive programs such as iDVD, GarageBand, and possibly now iMovie, or if iPhoto now requires a G4 too. I have a G3 notebook and a G4 Mini... I am hoping I can at least use iPhoto on the iBook... I placed my order for both iLife and iWork as soon as it became available after the keynote. Too bad they don't offer upgrade pricing but I guess it's already a fairly reasonable price.
