I'm with you. I'd be willing to pay something reasonable for an upgrade to GarageBand and maybe iDVD, but I'd rather not pay more for the upgrade than for the original applications. 2005?

So if 10.4 Tiger is released sometime in March or April, this would be consistent with the past release schedule.

Just the cost of being an Apple fan. Almost worth it to buy a new Mac mini every time there is an OS upgrade, and sell the old one on eBay. iLife, iWork, .Mac, and a copy of the OS every year (admittedly, Tiger is taking longer than one calendar year) is $386.

Of course, once they get all those other apps, people tend to think one of them might just be worth it, like iMovie, or GarageBand, or whatever. Plus, Apple can say that every Mac has the ability to create movies, author DVDs, etc, etc. If you skip this year, I bet that iLife '06 will be worth buying. I'm ponying up this year, and might skip '06. I bet Apple's okay with that. :-) I think it's pretty clever on Apple's part. $79 is pushing it, but generally they've sold iLife for cheap enough that most people figured it would be worth it even for just one app (not counting iTunes, which is free anyway).
