XP equivalent of PhotoBooth and GarageBand?

Might be a good idea to explain what they do for us non-Mac users.

Okay :)

What GarageBand is:

* It's a Sequencer that applies full MIDI editing for software instruments
* You can construct songs with Apple Loops, Software Instruments, or Audio tracks
* An Audio recorder with as many tracks as you want
* An effects generator with plenty of onboard plugins and the ability to use 3rd party Audio Unit plugins
* An Audio renderer that pipes your song files right into iTunes (where you can burn them to CD)
* A soft synth engine with several tone generating models which is also capable of using 3rd party softsynths and samplers just like the big boys.

Photo Booth is a small software application for taking photos with an iSight camera by Apple Computer for Mac OS X. It features 17 built-in effects that can be applied to photos.

Photo Booth has two sets of image effects that can be applied when taking a picture. The first set may be described to contain photographic filters, familiar from Photoshop:

* Sepia
* Black & White
* Glow
* Comic Book
* Normal
* Colored Pencil
* Thermal Camera (this is a fake generated image, that works realistically only if the user is light-skinned.)
* X-Ray
* Pop Art

The second set has been described by Apple's CEO Steve Jobs himself as a set of "Teenage Effects", being a collection of effects that manipulate the shape of the image, rather than filtering it:

* Bulge
* Dent
* Twirl
* Squeeze
* Mirror
* Light Tunnel
* Fisheye
* Stretch

As for PhotoBooth, I'm guessing the effects can be done through photo editting programs (Photoshop being an obvious one), but I was just wondering if there were any dedicated webcam programs that actually have all those features built in. Hope that helps :)
