Or rather, it's about to be.QuoteMicrosoft’s next Windows 10 update, called the Autumn (or Fall in the US) Creators Update, will bring a variety of new features. But one long-standing stalwart of the Windows experience has been put on the chopping block: Microsoft Paint.First released with the very first version of Windows 1.0 in 1985, Paint in its various guises would be one of the first graphics editors used by many and became a core part of Windows. Starting life as a 1-bit monochrome licensed version of ZSoft’s PC Paintbrush, it wasn’t until Windows 98 that Paint could save in JPEG.With the Windows 10 Creators Update, released in April, Microsoft introduced the new Paint 3D, which is installed alongside traditional Paint and features 3D image making tools as well as some basic 2D image editing. But it is not an update to original Paint and doesn’t behave like it.Now Microsoft has announced that, alongside Outlook Express, Reader app and Reading list, Microsoft Paint has been signalled for death having been added to the “features that are removed or deprecated in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update” list.https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jul/24/microsoft-paint-kill-off-after-32-years-graphics-editing-program?CMP=fb_guRIP MS Paint. You gave the world trillions of lazy memes and shitty mouse doodles.
Who cares.....We have better paint software any way. Paint Shop Pro, Adobe Photoshop, GIMP... I am sure their decision was based on that there were too many similar programs that can do the same that why bother with MS Paint any more.MS Paint had a good run, it's time to move on.
I don't care if newer versions of windows will leave paint because for me WIndows XP paint still the only one and good paint.I Still using paint to make my 32 bits sprites and will still using paint to make my 32 bits sprites...
