minus-squaredangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·1 year agoWho told you that? MS Paint is basically a critical windows utility.
minus-squarejadegear@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·1 year agoIf you remove mspaint.exe then Windows will refuse to boot. It’s true, I knew a guy!

minus-squareBlackmist@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agoPaint.NET has been my simple go to for over a decade. I’ve never got on with Gimp or Photoshop. Paint.NET is more like Paintshop Pro used to be.

minus-squarekamenLady.@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoI read that WordPad also was being discontinued, in the same article stating the same about MS Paint iirc
