MSPaint is moving to the Microsoft Store

And They said, Microsoft no longer innovates

Unironically this.

it gets people using the MS store.
they'll hide it behind the Deluxe Solitaire Subscriptions aisle, and underneath the mountain of unwanted 'Dont Leave Till You Tried It' 'free' browsers

paint.net is open sauce and way better and more advanced than microsuck paint

no it isn't

nothing of value was lost

ok but it's still way better than ms paint

The XP version is better for what Paint is good for, which is pixel stuff. You can easily draw lines end to end. You can right click a color to set it as secondary. You can use the eraser to replace one color while leaving the rest. You lose the lame shapes and simulated paintbrushes that just make you wish for Photoshop.

Good. I think paint.net is a better alternative and I don't even have Microsofts shitty store installed anyway.

They may be trying to streamline the windows iso file. By removing the included software and making the user go to the store to download programs like calculator and paint mail etc. It's probably due to the fact that windows is now a rolling release and is thus getting more bloated with each update.

M$ doesn't even include fucking minesweeper anymore...the fuck made you think paint was gonna stay?

This right here is the answer. They want people to use their store for everything.

Less software installed by default is a good thing niggers

> hey may be trying to streamline the windows iso file
this level of COPE

its to get people to use their shitty store, they want people to get used to using their shitty store, because then they might accidently buy something in their shitty store

Windows 7 doesn't have a 'Microsoft Store'

it could easily be both
most programs in linux distros (ignoring clusterfucks like pythons pip) are already handled by the package manager, even if you use a distro that has packages installed by default
with gentoo you usually want to create an ebuild for something you are building + installing + updating regularly, rather than install it manually

sure the windows store is probably an absolute fucking garbage commercial advertisement-laden pile of shit where they try out every jewish psychological trick in the book to keep the users attention
but that does not mean having the base OS have less random components attached to it not being an advantage to it

stop seeing the world behind false dichotomies

Who uses anything beyond W7?

This message has been there for about a year. The fact that nobody has brought that up shows that Jow Forums is a linux shill echo chamber

Which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing over the way things are done right now.

The store is essentially (a really shit) package manager.

Someone will make a registry hack to fix it, just like they did with getting the Win7 photo viewer back in Windows 10.

>They may be trying to streamline the windows iso file.

Yeah let's remove this 6 MB application and replace it with new paint that is a 60 MB electron abomination that uses 1 GB of ram that you download from the store. Also, you will have to subscribe to the new Microsoft Paint Pass for Professionals 365 costing $2.99 a month to access new paint.

it would be if it was the spyware and the rootkits they left out. but they leave out the only viable software that MS Windows had in the last 30 years. That will kill MS.

>have to download a calculator, paint, mail etc
jesus fucking christ just why would anyone think that's a good idea

I don't have the MS store installed..

Soon the you will pay for the entire os monthy.

This is old as fuck news anyway.
Besides if you really hate all UWP shit so much, it's literally one command to get rid of everything:
Get-AppxPackage -allusers | Remove-AppxPackage

not for your benefit you dum winbab
for their own maintenance benefit
it is undeniably easier to administrate systems where all applications come from the same place

Why would you use Paint over paint.net or GIMP anyway?

Name a decision Microsoft has taken about Windows in the last 3 years that has benefitted the user.

Try last 9 years. Every thing they did to Windows after 7 was retarded.

Pretty much this.

Any alternative that can as easily resize canvas not by entering amount of pixels but by dragging the corner?

scrolling on unfocused windows wasn't a thing in 7

>typed on a ThinkPad with Arch

What maintenance? The only changes made to mspaint.exe since the release of Windows 10 have been to shill Paint3D and to announce Paint's removal. Surely the absolute minimal amount of maintenance they could do would be to leave it as is, not remake it.

if it is part of the codebase then for lack of better words it gets hauled around even if you never touch it, when it strictly speaking probably should be a separate thing entirely
regardless of whether it already is completely factored out, making it part of a (shitty) package manager is still a cleaner generalization

photofiltre allows you to select with a drag and drop the desired size, and then crop it with a right click.
