One of the things I have always liked about Apple is that it bundles much of the software a user needs or wants with the computer. For instance, photo editing applications, web authoring, and DVD making are all included in the iLife suite.

Apple’s latest iLife version is now available for purchase. As of today iLife ‘09 is available for Mac owners for a $79 single license upgrade. Users with more than one Mac in the home can get a family pack with five licenses for $99.

Apple also says that the new iLife version is now shipping with all Mac computers. Updates in the new version include tweaks to iPhoto for facial recognition, updates to GarageBand, iWeb, and significant iMovie updates.
