Microsoft Paint has been marked for death:

The era of Microsoft Paint appears to be coming to an end with the upcoming release of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. The image-editing application is officially being classified by Microsoft as a "deprecated feature," as noted by The Guardian. That means that, come this fall, Paint will "not be in active development and might be removed in future releases."

I go hard in the paint.

Also at PCWorld and Smithsonian.

    Right. That would work very well when giving people instructions, especially in corporate environments :)

    A: "OK, first install GIMP..."
    B: "I'm reporting you to HR for harassment!"

    (I personally prefer Krita. I could never get used to the GIMP interface...)
