You view photos on either your iOS devices, or iPhoto or if you have Windows, the folder you specified in the iCloud application.

If you are under Windows XP, you can't
If you are under Vista or 7, you gonna have to download the installation file to get the iCloud panel

correct me if I'm wrong but... every photo will remain on Stream section for 30 days, and you can't choose which one to delete, I think the only option is to purge the entire Stream section.

Correct you can't pick and choose, it just removes them after 30 days
