Also people don't want to go installing lots of different programs to find the one that suits their needs and in som ecases we wouldn't even know about certain programs if it wasn't for sites like this and portablefreeware.com. I personally try and use as much freeware as I can but despite trying a lot of the programs recommended on here I always return to the ones I have always used. Irfanview for image viewing and playing media files to preview them, Paint.NET for image editing, PSPad for my text editing (I'm a web developer), Filezilla for my FTP, Pidgin for my IM client, Firefox for my web browser, Antivir for my anti virus, Spamihilator for my spam mail filter, Thunderbird for my email, MediaMonkey for my audio player, uTorrent for my bit torrent client, Img Burn for my CD, DVD burning (I use Mediamonkey for making audio CDs), Izarc for my compression program, Open Office for my office suite, JK Defrag GUI for defragging my system, CCLeaner for removing lots of crap, The KMPlayer for watching video files and Spybot, SpywareBlaster and SpywareTerminator for keeping my system malware free. And credit where it is due I tried SpywareTerminator and MediaMonkey after reading reviews of them on this site. I started using The KMPlayer after seeing it on PortableFreeware. I have used programs suggested on this site and given them up as a bad job. XNView was one but thats just because I didn't like the way it worked not because it was a bad program. BBox Player still has somequirks to iron out, Gomplayer isn't actually as good as it claims and Pictomio is just a glorified image browser. I did use Wubi after seeing it on here and am glad I did because Ubuntu is great. Because people have different tastes.

Can't we gauge opinions from real experience rather than from infomercial blah-blah-blah? I use xnView, I like xnView. Why? Because it's good enough for me. Has a small footprint, doesn't require a MIT or Standford graduation to learn how to use it, no jargon, no fancy features either, but robust manager for still and moving pictures in a non-professional graphic environment. Ah, and portable too, meaning multiplatform (OS), multi-device (flash drives, SD, etc), no-install. Why are some people “marketing” freeware as if it were one of their heirloom or private parts?

(Current beta expires Oct 1st 2008). Twins Visions has advanced editing capabilities and photo sharing, which Pictomio doesn't, but Pictomio is more reliable and more stable (and is somewhat "cooler" imho). @e,

Even the website looks similar. I personally don't have that many images on my computer so I'm happy to stick with Irfanview, even more so since Pictomio is pretty much just a viewer and doesn't offer any edit functions as far as I can see. My friend who does have a lot of photos tried it and says he will stick with Picasa as he finds it easier to use and does have basic editing like red eye removal.
