I converted my parents over to Picasa when it came out and they still use it; they don't have interest in moving family photos over to the cloud. I am assuming that your comment re: spam is about is about Picasaweb (it doesn't make much sense to me for users to submit spam into their own desktop software). Perhaps a reason for this is that it mostly gets used by people who started with the desktop software and those people keep the photos private so that the only photos seen in public are spam?
