In the age of social networking and phones that can shoot pictures, a new computer ought to have some sort of image-editing and photo-managing utility. Yes, you can have Photoshop or Lightroom. But these 'killer' applications cost a lot of money. Besides, you don't need such advanced software unless you are a pro or photography enthusiast. For everyday needs, Picasa works fine. Not only does it allow basic editing, but it also enables you to store your photographs in the Google cloud for easy access and sharing.
