just curious mostly, it's too bad that the "ilife" software can't be
installed in the user/ applications instead of system/applications

I've often wished that I could wipe a user off the computer and have
"all" of that users info, apps, virtually every stitch removed from
that particular user off of that computer? Is there a way of only
installing apps etc in the user only without touching the rest of
the computer?
The iPhoto Library data is stored in the ~User/Pictures/iPhoto Library
file, so this means that even though the iPhoto application is a
System application, the various different ~User libraries are only
accessible by their own specific ~User, and when you "wipe a user off
the computer" the specific iPhoto library associated with that ~User
will be wiped off the computer.
iPhoto is bloatware in that it contains many GBs of various different
templates for the types of books & cards that Apple sells if you want
to create a photo album from your pictures. If you've started at the
earliest version of iPhoto and upgraded sequentially, I believe each
year's templates are retained and added to, so the size of all these
various templates can be substantial. If you don't plan to order
books or photo albums from Apple you can delete templates to save HD
space.
