A while ago I began testing adobe lighthouse and I was impressed. Then I
came to realize that it was soo slow that Picasa was a thousand times
better, even without all the RAW development features (I use photoshop for
that).

I was looking at the apple aperture website, and I liked it. What do you
think of it? How fast to browse pictures compared to lighthouse and picasa?
And the ultimate question... do you know if they plan to release a windows
version?

I'd put the chances of Apple releasing Aperture on Windows extremely low.
It won't happen.

The software is great, and I might even like it a bit more than Lightroom,
but its RAW output isn't (in my experience) as clean as Lightroom, so I
use Lightroom. On my machine (a two-year old dual processor G5, 2GB of
RAM) it is rather speedy, but then again so is Lightroom, so I don't know
if that tells you anything new.

Aperture is out of the running for me because it requires you to
organize your image files in a certain way. It 'imports' them into its
own file structure, much like iPhoto.
