Late Monday night, Microsoft announced that MS Paint is here to stay. General Manager of Windows Experiences, Megan Saunders, wrote the following in a blog post: However, it is apparent that the company wants you to use its new Paint 3D app (also free), which first shipped with the Creators Update. Megan continues in her post writing, “Many of the MS Paint features people know and love like photo editing, line and curve tools, and 2D creation are in Paint 3D.” Since it’s a Modern app, it will receive all of the developer team’s attention and get further updates. But if you are used to using MS Paint for simple photo edits and other easy graphics tasks, you can take solace in the fact that the nostalgic program isn’t going anywhere for the foreseeable future. Just don’t expect any new feature updates for it. Are you an MS Paint user for easy photo edits? Leave a comment below and tell us your stories of using one of the original Windows apps. Comment
