G.I.M.P. or Paint .Net are pretty decent and free.

Second recommendation for GIMP its very good and completely free. Wouldn't say its incredably simple but its not overly complicated though.

theres more than you can shake a stick at.

All mentioned above, but if its more technical stuff - network maps, 3d plans, etc maybe try Google sketchup?

Another good one is PhotoFiltre - It's free to use and can be deployed by MSI very easily.

It's a good alternative to Photoshop, I deploy it to all workstations on campus and it's used by a lot of the students for basic image editing. Obviously the more advanced users prefer to go and find a workstation with Photoshop.

If I'm reading right, you wanted a vector drawing package not a painting package like Paint.NET/Gimp etc? If so, give Inkscape a go - great little app but a decent bit of power behind it too.

Inkscape. Draw Freely.
