It is more powerful than iphoto n picasa, and since u take alot of pictures, i think it is an ideal software for u. :D have a nice day. hie. first time commenting on your blog.

I do that with my macbook. I use VMware Fusion (or OS X Bootcamp also can) to run a virtualisation of Windows on OS X. Very easy. Then install a free copy of Anti-Virus to keep the bugs away. Good and tested free anti virus are Avira Antivir Personal and AVG Free Anti-virus. I personally used them before and find them very good and sometimes better than the paid ones. You will be no worse or better than the rest of Windows users. Mac Rulez!
