Picasa is less popular with the general public for the same reason that Windows is more popular than Linux. Every computer comes with a "free" operating system (Windows) and every new camera comes with "free" photo management software ( Consumers are used to always inserting any CD that comes with any purchased hardware) - plus, and even easier, Windows includes their "free" product "Windows Photo Gallery", with NO installation necessary. John Doe consumer just wants the simple or pre-installed solution and doesn't want to bother with the hassle of downloading Picassa, even if they have heard of Picassa, which most consumers have not heard of.
