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.

    Everything but Edge must go!

    Since Windows is going down and cloud is going up, the future is clear: remove everything but browser and networking from the OS and push people to use cloud services. With telemetry, Cortana, OneDrive integration, etc, it's already halfway there :)
