for image editing install Gimp, for a windows-like menu try mint menu you can find it in softpedia.com

gnome-screenshot -d 3

That will give you a delay of 3 seconds, during which you can click on the start menu.

I hate the Windows START menu. I prefer how it's setup in Ubuntu. It's so neat and organised .

Each to their own. It's just what you're used to I guess. Mind you, I haven't used Vista.

I'm pretty sure you'd like this one it would get rid of a whole taskbar and you'll be able to access your files easier... it comes with a search so I'd say it's better than having three menus the only thing I dislike its a little buggy with the logo but other than that it's great!
