empak is on a distinguished road
Just installed Picasa on my MacBook Pro

There is a way to install picasa on Mac (intel). You have to use Parallels Desktop emulator. I use it to run Windows aps which I still need. Today I tried to instal Picasa
and it works very very well. It is much faster then iPhoto6 on the same computer.
I did not expected too much because emulator emulates graphics card (no hardware accelerator) and Picasa should be slow on it. But picasa works amazingly fast. When I browse through photos making modifications to them I can jump to the next photo instanly. In iPhoto6 on the same computer (1.83GHz CoreDuo with 2GB RAM) after avery modification I have to wait 2s to move to next photo. On Picasa it is ZERO seconds.

No I have to check if I can use Picasa to menage pictures that are stored on OSX part of hard disk.
