I actually booted in windows and played with it.
You can use it to make slideshows etc...
makes a list of all pics on your system.
But it DOES try to connect to the internet,
(to send a list of al your pics ;-)?) but failed
as I pulled out the ethernet cable, sort of expected that.

For the rest it seems OK.. Only crashed once.
Just beware of spyware OK?

I doubt you were seeing spyware action; it has an automatic "check for
updates" feature that you can turn off.

I've been playing around today with the new Version 2 that was just
released. It's a nice upgrade to a very good program. Just don't let
it scan your entire system or you'll get "picasa.ini" files dropped
everywhere it finds a jpg.

The slideshow feature is very basic. But then again, it's free.

I only found 2 Picasa.ini files, I have many dirs full of jpgs..
