You probably have version 9.0c if not you can download the latest from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads

Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to non open editors using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.

Supported SVG features include shapes, paths, text, markers, clones, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, patterns, and grouping.

Inkscape also supports Creative Commons meta-data, node editing, layers, complex path operations, bitmap tracing, text-on-path, flowed text, direct XML editing, and more.

It imports formats such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and others and exports PNG as well as multiple vector-based formats.

You can easily run Inkscape INSIDE a VMware Player Ubuntu virtual machine EVEN if you are not running GNU/Linux directly on your desktop !

“Silk” is a smooth, free icon set, containing over 700 16-by-16 pixel icons in strokably-soft PNG format. Containing a large variety of icons, you're sure to find something that tickles your fancy.

“Silk” is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License. This means you may use it for any purpose, and make any changes you like. All I ask is that you include a link back to this page in your credits (although a giant link on every page of your website really isn't needed, contact me to discuss specifics).

"Open Source Graphics for the masses" at http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/

Intel have announced the "availability of free software drivers for the Intel® 965 Express Chipset family graphics controller. These drivers include support for 2D and 3D graphics features for the newest generation Intel graphics architecture."

Intel even have even published a hardware compatibility list (Intel Graphics HCL) !

In this months LinuxUser Jono Bacon says that "...it was decided that Compiz and Beryl aren't mature enough..." for 3D hardware accelerated graphics drivers to be included by default.

If you want a *buntu distro that will always be 100% free-libre-open and never have any binary graphics drivers then you could try GnewSense.
