Picasa http://picasa.google.com/ is the program which I have installed
more often since it's release than any other. Whereas the Kodak imaging
tool is likely the program I have uninstalled the most, and now Kodak is
offering paid upgrades. I am not pleased with Kodak's offering at all,
or their support offerings.
BTW Picasa also runs on Win98/Me
http://dl.google.com/picasa/picasa2-setup-1884.exe, and Linux
http://picasa.google.com/linux/download.html
My 2 cents on free imaging tools.

Philosophy:
In general, I use features and programs that are part of the operating
system before I look at third party solutions. Anyone who has bought a
digital camera knows how quickly Kodak, HP, Canon and Adobe can install
useless, contradictory and confusing imaging programs on your computer
(Picasa2 and Windows Imaging is the answer).
If I need a new feature or wish to tweak an existing one, I look for a
free solution. I've seen far too many machines where people have pissed
away hundreds of dollars, usually $20 or %50 at a time, on programs that
only duplicate existing Windows capabilities.
If you want Windows to behave differently, do a little research before
spending your lunch money, or just post a question here.
In the last 15 or so years I've spent exactly $19.95 on software other
than operating systems.
Google "essential free software" and you'll get lists like this one:

I can't explain Harold's obsession with attempting to control his
computer, but it's his and that's part of the fun for him. I'm sure,
however, that it's not necessary for a better computing experience.
