It's not often I recommend or extol the virtues of a piece of software, especially running on Vista, but having just downloaded and tried Picasa 3.6 I am truly impressed..
I thought Apple iPhoto was good, and it was the lack iPhoto for Windows that prompted me to look for something better than Windoze Photo Gallery, this free offering from Google is streets ahead..
It works seamlessly with Picasa picture hosting, Google Earth for Geo tagging, Google Blogs and Gmail, it has face recognition and a host of features I'm still playing with .. It also has basic photo editing, adequate for everyday use.
If downloading make sure you get version 3.6 and not 3.1 which doesn't have face recognition ..
