The Penguin Ping.

Wanna be Penguified? Just holla!

The Gimp can run on Windows, too. Click to try it now.

Got root?

Gimps got a really clean (and stable) interface, but the way you do some things on it is kind of odd. I almost wish I had more of a reason to draw pretty pictures with it so that I could use it more. Back when it was new though, it was the big killer open source app going up against the big killer shareware app (paint shop pro) going up against whatever Adobe or Microsoft's offerings were. Microsoft probably does have a point about the harm that open source software poses to the industry as they know it, but that's sort of like the stand the Luddites took a century or two ago. Once drawing programs and fancy web browsers become common place and you've achieved the holy grail of highly portable, highly distributable software, the thing to do is search for another holy grail.
