Pakz	MS is removing Windows Paint Linkage

Jayenkai	Paint, I can deal with.. Not having a classic Minesweeper/Solitaire is a fucking horrific thing... Somewhat ironic that Apple seem to be adding more and more to each MacOS iteration, whilst MS are doing the exact opposite. .. And yet somehow expect people to go "Oh, wow, cool! Now Windows is even less powerful. I gotta buy that!!" -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

cyangames	Less powerful and More resource heavy, wooo!! and people wander why I'm sticking with Windows 7 for as long as humanly possible. Paint is a great lil tool for kids in particular though. Try teaching em photoshop instead, not an easy ride. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

GfK	I don't understand. It's not like Paint is costing them in ongoing development. Removing it doesn't make sense.

rockford	I do all of my artwork in MS Paint (old version XP-ish; I can't stand the ribbon bar in later versions). The old versions of Paint are clean, clear and simple - perfect for my needs.

steve_ancell	rychan Try teaching em photoshop instead, not an easy ride. Try affording Photoshop, costs shitloads so I'm told.

steve_ancell	Thank fuck we still have Paint.NET and GIMP.

cyangames	Yeah, I still have my software legit copies from when I was Refresh Creations which is handy. No need to updagrade it to their monthly subscription BS -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	Ugh.. Don't get me started on Adobe's bloody subscription model.. When CoolEdit crapped out a while back (it's started randomly working again, btw!!) I actually headed to Adobe's site to purchase a new copy of their "We bought it, rebranded it, and stuck a higher price on it, because .. FUCK YOU!" remake, Adobe Audition. £20.22 Not a bad price.. Hmm.. Wait.. What's that..!?! A MONTH!?!? £20 A FUCKING MONTH!?!? For something, the basis of which, they didn't even fucking code themselves... FOOOOOOOOK!!! But, like I said, luckily CoolEdit has fixed itself. I'm once again happy with that. So, hurray for old stuff, and long live Classic Paint. BURN THE RIBBON!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

spinal	I little googling will find you classic versions of such software, even info on creating shortcuts to things like classic control panel. Not that I advocate such things, but classic notepad is much better. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

Dabz	I know it's not hard to knock up a clone of MS Paint, but they should make it open source, I'm sure there's plenty of fans out there that would tinker with it. Dabz -=-=- Intel Core i5 6400 2.7GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB), 8Gig DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 64bit

Jayenkai	Latest news.. They're not "scrapping it", they're just moving it to their Windows Store "where people can still download it for free." You can almost hear the cheers at MSHQ as they stupidly think they've finally stumbled on a way to get people to actually use the Windows Store.. Lovely Pic, BTW -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
