Comments
Picasa has a Google personality, much like the Google Toolbar or even the company
itself: very clever, a bit aggressive, and has a tendency to ferret out material without asking.
But it is free, so it could scarcely be a better value, and it has some professional features
(like RAW support) that are lacking in certain commercial browsing software. Note: it
is not an online application and requires Windows.
