Has Microsoft come out with a newer or better version of Photo Draw since
2000? If not, what is the recommended alternative for a replacement?

As the link Carey posted explains, Photo Draw has been discontinued.

I don't know if there is a recommended image editor, and I have to confess
that, even if there were, I probably wouldn't recommend it simply because
Microsoft seems to switch "preferred" image editing programs with every
version of Office.

I'd probably go with something like Adobe Photoshop Elements instead.
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopelwin/main.html In the past I would
have recommended Paint Shop Pro by JASC, but I don't know if it's still good
or not since Corel bought it.

Both of these products have free trial downloads -- I'd try them both and
see which best meets your needs and is easiest for you to use.
