downloaded google's latest free software - picasa 2 - today. i surely haven't had time to use it heavily but my initial impression is that it is a very worthwhile tool for viewing one's photos. the structure and features are very intuitive and it is cool that it supports both nikon nef and canon crw. additionally, it is (supposively) free from any type of "additional" add-ons of the spy nature. give it a spin!
