Okay I see -- iMovie 3 download

[Gordon B. Alley]

I've seen plenty of references, in this list and elsewhere, stating 
that Apple had planned to charge for all the iLife apps, and then was 
forced to back down at the last minute because of the negative 
reaction. But I've yet to see any attributable evidence that this 
was, in fact, the case.

There were a lot of rumors floating around before the MacWorld Expo, 
and most of them turned out to be wrong. A Merrill Lynch analyst even 
downgraded his rating for Apple before the expo because Apple 
supposedly didn't have any significant new products in its pipeline.
