iDVD and iWeb have not had the honor of a presentation by Steve Jobs during the demonstration iLife '11. For all these applications are still present in the box. This contradicts rumors summer (read rumors about iLife '11). Nothing surprising about the lack of any mention, these are the same versions or so. We thus find iWeb 3.0.2, iDVD by cons went from 7.0.4 to 7.1 without knowing yet what changes. iLife '11 abandon the PowerPC (even knew the previous run on G4 or G5) and requires a Mac Intel Core 2 Duo minimum. Leopard also goes by the wayside, it will take at least Snow Leopard 10.6.3. But nothing is said about a possible 64-bit rewrite of iPhoto, iMovie or GarageBand. If you bought a Mac (the new or refurb), sold without the new iLife, between 1 and October 19 will be proposed to 7.95 €. Must apply before November 19. Customers bought a Mac from now and having no iLife '11 pre-installed will also be able to claim $ 7.95 return and within 30 days of purchase.
