EasyShare has a few 'issues' worth noting.
It loads 2 startup programs - EasyShare photo monitor and EasyShare Updater. Not sure if you are ever asked whether you want these to load at startup.
These programs almost certainly WILL slow down the PC's startup and conflict with some security software and other software - notably similar programs from Canon, HP, Fuji, Olympus, Sony, Adobe, Picasa and so forth. Fortunately, the startup issues are easy to deal PROVIDED YOU KNOW A TINY BIT ABOUT WINDOWS.
The other issue, I'm not sure about. I hear complaints constantly from people about how EasyShare ends up duplicating their photos - ending up with folders of "original" photos and another set of "EasyShare" photos. Not sure what's up with that, but HP's software does the same thing.
EasyShare's best 'feature' is that it makes printing - to ANYTHING - easy for the end user and, apparently, that's important to a lot of people.
The best freebie I've seen for photos is http://picasa.google.com/ but it's not particularly easy to use for the non-geeky PC owner. And its printing skill is only marginally better than the craptastic printing found in Google Chrome.
