mcePicasa is a open source project (on codeplex) for viewing Picasa images in Media Center. Written in MCML (Media Center Markup Language) means it's a native Vista Media Center application with all the richness that offers. Plus being open source source you can dive in to the source code, take a look at how it works and contribute to the project. I find these kind of application very useful for finding out tips on Media Center development and even if your just curios to see what MCML and Windows Media Center Presentation Layer Application are all about. I don't use Picasa but it a nice looking application and it would be great if it could be expanded to include other photo sites.
