Cool free software

Yesterday I discovered a very nice open source program for creating and editing SVG (scalable vector graphic) files. It does that kind of shape and path based graphics stuff that programs like Adobe Illustrator do, although I'm sure its far less fancy, but watch out! Given time I wouldn't be surprised if Inkscape becomes to Illustrator as GIMP is to Photoshop. The good news is that Inkscape has a very good Windows version so, Windows junkie that I am (trust me, I'm begining to wonder "Why?") I can use it without booting up my Ubuntu virtual machine.
