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.

    My theory is a lot of the people with a clue cashed out ($$$$$$$!) or/and switched to more research oriented stuff.

    Leaving us with the retards who can actually think shit like the Metro UI is a good idea.
