MS Paint is getting killed off by Microsoft - Update: It's been saved! Rejoice!

Paint is the best Microsoft product ever made.

The Zune has something to say about that.

Well, we did it, in a manner of speaking.

Today, we’ve seen an incredible outpouring of support and nostalgia around MS Paint. If there’s anything we learned, it’s that after 32 years, MS Paint has a lot of fans. It’s been amazing to see so much love for our trusty old app. Amidst today’s commentary around MS Paint we wanted to take this opportunity to set the record straight, clear up some confusion and share some good news:

MS Paint is here to stay, it will just have a new home soon, in the Windows Store where it will be available for free.

So it will be available but development is still coming to an end?

Don't worry......paint.exe will be sneaked into every microsoft OS release for many years to come.

"Basic" was included in all microsoft OS up to windows ME..........you just had to look for it.

Microsoft OS install discs have a ton of undocumented legacy programs if you know how to browse them.
