Google now owns Picasa. It's am imaging tool - and it's really very good. Oh yeah - and it's FREE.

It provides a timeline- and album-based view of all your images and lets you sort through them, print them, edit them, transfer them from your camera, share them with others, make slideshows, and more.

It's cool - check out the flash demo here, and download here.

That's not my understanding, and I did a little research (on my own, for what it's worth). I guess in 14 days we'll know. If I try to register it, it tells me I already have and asks if I want to change my registration to a new email ID. And yes, I checked the privacy policy. :)

It used to be available in a trial version with a purchase pop-up after the trial. In additon, Picasa had been working ov v2 of the software, and I suppose it's entirely possible they might sell that once it's baked, assuming it's stil lin production.

There's lots of rumors floating about free vs. pay and Google can afford it and whatnot, we'll just have to see.
