iLife is a dependent personality

ilife06.jpgGlenn Wolsey of Macsimum News asks is iLife becoming too .Mac attached? He has a rather interesting point, which has been examined elsewhere as the .Mac tax.

To be honest, I think about it in the opposite direction. Is .Mac becoming too iLife dependent is my question. You can’t publish pages to “web.mac.com” without iLife ‘06. Nor can you add content to “photocast.mac.com”. Too much of .Mac’s functionality is inaccessible without separate software purchases. That I take issue with.
