Why Microsoft Is Planning To Killoff "PAINT" After 32 Years by Eljay24(m): 9:49am On Jul 25, 2017
Microsoft is planning to end support for Paint when Windows 10's Fall Creators Update arrives later this year, The Guardian reports.

The program will not be supported nor receive new features anymore for the first time in 32 years, when it was first introduced in 1985's Windows 1.0.

However, Microsoft clarified that the app itself will be moved to the Microsoft Store, where users will be able to download it for free.

Microsoft will also retain Paint 3D, which it introduced with the Windows 10 Creators Update back in April, but the program doesn't share much with the three-decade-plus old Paint everyone knows and loves (or hates).

Paint 3D is designed to work with three-dimensional image making tools, and also allows for some basic 2D editing, but it doesn't look nor behave like the original one.

Paint will join Outlook Express, the Reader app, and Reader list in Windows 10's list of features that will be "removed or deprecated" when the Fall Creators Update comes.

I think they're going to replace it with something else, paint 3D perhaps.
