RIP MS Paint – 1985 to 2017

RIP MS Paint – 1985 to 2017
Microsoft’s next new Windows 10 update named the Autumn Creators Update has a variety of new features. Microsoft will be removing Microsoft Paint in the new update. MS Paint was first released in the very first version of Windows 1.0 in 1985. MS Paint in its various appearances was one of the first graphics editors used by many, and it became a crucial software of Windows.

MS Paint was released alongside Windows 1 back in November 1985. Microsoft has since continued to upgrade the application from its 1-bit monochrome version. While it pails in comparison to other image editing software today, users have long since learned to live with and accept Paint’s limited feature set. A lot many users also tend to go back to Paint when they come across the need to add the odd highlight to an image. Even though the application has a legacy of creating bad illustrated art, it is also the nostalgia that users associate with it that makes Windows Paint so memorable for us.
