We use the Windows version of Xara Xtreme for probably half of our marketing production. It's a lot of fun, an easy UI, and quite a bit faster than Inkscape on Linux. It has capabilities that rival or exceed Illustrator (and is also an order of magnitude faster). And the full commercial version for Windows is just $89. I use it for a lot of my UI work and highly recommend it.
