Well, after having actually used Picasa a bit, it turns out that it is not as good as I had hoped. Picasa 2 is significantly better than the previous version, but it still seems a awkward in some ways. Of course, I've been spoiled by iPhoto, so people who have not spent many hours organizing their photos in that program may like it. Certainly, Picasa is the best photo management program I've tried on Windows, and it sure beats whatever crap comes with most digital cameras.
