Microsoft Office Picture manager

Lately I have been using MS Office Picture manager to work on my photos and I found it as a decent tool for all basic purposes.

Earlier I used Faststone for editing my photos.But I found MS Office Picture manager to be a good option.

I have since then not installed Fast Stone on my new PC.The advantages I found in using
MS Office Picture manager are as below

1.One doesnt have to install any new software and that keeps the PC clean.

2.It provides easy access to all the editing features like 'Auto Correct',Compress,Resize and Crop images.

3.Most of features provided by Fast stone are included.

It would be great if the 'Adding Text to pictures' feature is also included in the Picture manager.If that is done,I don't think users will have to look elsewhere
