How do you get that vintage look in photography?

I started getting serious with my photography about a year or two ago and after seeing a lot of the photos posted on deviant-art I noticed how a lot of them have this sort of vintage, faded quality but still contain enough color and don't end up turning out yellowy like mine do. Does anyone have any tips as to how to get this effect or what kind of photo editing program I might need?

If you want them to look faded but still have color, just desaturate the image. This is extremely easy to do in Picasa (download it for free from Google). You can also add film grain in Picasa, and that will definitely give you the old feel that you're looking for.
