 Graphics Expression 3 - Vector based graphic editor
Based on what I've seen in my brief trial, Expression 3 can do for vector based graphics what PSP does for raster based graphics. Vector graphics allows you to easily manipulate and resize images that you add or import with no loss of detail. Now here's the kicker. Microsoft  bought the software and is offering it as freeware. It's a 57mb download of pure image editing power at no cost. Here are a few examples of the images people have created.
