iPhoto ... well, the latest version of iLife is included with new Apple system sales, but it's not included as part of the OS release. That's like asking for Microsoft to include a new update of Office with every release of Windows XP. Vendors often include Office and other applications as a perk when buying a complete hardware system package, Apple does the same with its application software packages.
iPhoto is of limited use to me as an application ... v4.0.3 was available as a free download, but the v5.x generation is now only available as a part of iLife. I don't use much from the iLife suite other than iTunes, which is available for free download, so I doubt I'll invest in iLife at present.

ACDSee for Mac OS X v1.6.9 is the current version. It's got some decent

other RAW formats, far as I can tell.
I have installed OSX 10.4 and all I can say is that I am dissapointed in
so many ways. many of the basic features require you to purchase upgrades
which run into more than I wanted to spend after laying out $199.00 for
the Tiger release.
oh, and iPhoto, forget it, applications on 10.4 require you to have version 4.0 or later (now 5.02) to work, this is now part of iLife and will set you back $119.00 dollars. This makes Microsoft look much better value for money.
