comment Does QGIS support MT83F
@SeanL you probably need to set 'Search within' to search for names not IDs in the CRS selection box.

comment Quantum GIS Standalone Installer Windows folder
I think on 32 bit machines, that will be C:\Program Files\... (no x86). I also don't have a handy way to test.

comment Best software to draw lines on Maps (eg. Neighbourhoods or Streets) and then import it into SqlServer 2008?
@NathanW excellent! It seems like a lot of people are moving towards SQL Server from Oracle.

You may also have success connecting directly to SQL Server from within QGIS - see woostuff.wordpress.com/2011/03/13/… (never done it myself, so can't speak to stability &c). Probably creating a Shapefile and importing is easiest in this situation.

comment Free high-resolution Orthophotography for Quebec
Google Earth and Bing are both mapping applications, tied to their data. What Darren is looking for is a file he can download to use in a GIS.

comment How to union polylines with the same name?
If you use the UNSPLIT_LINES option, ArcGIS won't connect two streets with the same name unless they share an endpoint. I think this is what you want. The only places this might break down are a) if the ends of the lines don't quite meet or b) if the is an intersection where two streets of the same name cross each other.

comment Is it possible to use the Goode Homolosine projection in QGIS?
I should have mentioned a ticket on the Proj.4 tracker for Goode Homolosine support (which was created after that question was asked): trac.osgeo.org/proj/ticket/106. Looks like I don't have as new a proj as I thought, though; I'll try updating my proj and see how it goes. Sorry for the duplicate question.
