Microsoft is killing legendary Paint after 32 years

>"It marked Paint as 'deprecated' in a list of apps and features that may be removed from the software, meaning the app is 'not in active development and might be removed in future releases'."

Not quite "killing" just yet. I imagine that either Paint3D or a similar program will be phased in to replace it, though. Microsoft is pushing the creator angle on their in-house PC designs, and I wouldn't be surprised if they have a more serious "prosumer" application in the works.

Didn't they kill it back in Windows 7 (or maybe Vista)?

The whole attraction of Paint was that it was a KISS pixel-level editor, and it ceased to be so in the latter versions of Windows.
