I think Vista will now also include Windows DVD Maker, Windows Media Center, Windows Photo Gallery, Windows Calendar, some new games, etc to join MovieMaker 2 and WMP10 that's already out for XP.

I use only iPhoto out of the whole iLife suite and only because the QT movies of slideshows it generates are still the best quality for the size plus, its renders are pretty quick. I then import the iPhoto slideshow QT files to my pc video editing app.

The lack of mpeg2 support for iMovie kinda limits it's usefulness to me because that means it has to do a lot of rendering unlike those pc video editing apps like Ulead Video Studio and Cyberlink Power. Those two can capture directly to mpeg2 in realtime and employ "smart rendering" techniques which not only preserves the quality of mpeg2 captures, but there's also a huge drop in rendering times. A 24-minute mpeg2 of "Married With Children" (after trimming off commercials and adjusting start/stop of each clip) is done in about 8 minutes.

I imagine, the MS video-editing apps built into Vista will have the same restrictions (or worse) as iLife. That means like iLife, I won't be using them as much either. I find 3rd party apps like Ulead Video Studio a lot more flexible.
