Microsoft Microsoft Paint: As reported last week, Microsoft will remove some features in the upcoming Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (also known as Redstone 3).
Immediately after the announcement of the company, too many media rushed to announce that the company would withdraw the very popular paint or painting application after 32 years into the operating system.
Although Microsoft referred to Paint as an abandoned application, the company meant it would focus much more on Paint 3D. So the prediction that made enough media for the withdrawal of the Paint tool turned out to be out of focus, as Microsoft itself issued a statement explaining that this is not going to happen.
Microsoft reported that Microsoft Paint will not go anywhere when the update is released Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, except for Windows Store.
The company is planning to release a version of Classic Paint in the Windows Store, which means the app will continue to receive updates and enhancements, although it will no longer be part of the operating system.
"Today we saw an incredible burst of support and nostalgia for MS Paint. If there's one thing we've learned, it's that after 32 years, MS Paint has a lot of friends. It was amazing to see so much love and trust for our old application. "Through today's comment on MS Paint, we'd like to take this opportunity to clear up some confusion and share some good news," said Megan Saunders, General Manager of the 3D for Everyone Initiative, Windows Experience.
"MS Paint is here to stay, and will have a new home soon, in the Windows Store where it will be available for free."
This means that Paint is moved to the Windows Store and that Microsoft will abandon it to other Windows versions.
However, this does not seem to matter much, as the specific application that was not updated regularly, has seen some improvements lately.
The Windows 10 Fall Creators Update is expected to be released in September.
