32 year old MS Paint

• Microsoft’s Windows 10 Fall Creators Update that is expected soon will feature a whole new bunch of tools and features,
• but it is going to kill the 1985-released image editing feature Microsoft Paint.
• According to a report in the Guardian on Monday, alongside Outlook Express, Reader app and Reading list,
• Microsoft Paint has been signaled for death having been added to the “features that are removed or deprecated in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update” list.
• “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,” the report noted.
• In its Windows 10 Creators Update that was released in April, Microsoft introduced the new Paint 3D.
• But it does not behave like the original Paint and does not look like an update.
• Though Paint was confined to bitmap and PCX formats only and was not much of a help in image editing,
• it was an easy option if someone wanted to scribble something or make a quick cut and paste job.
• It is yet to be known when 32-year-old Microsoft Paint will officially be removed from Windows.
