Microsoft is planning to kill off 'Paint' after 32 years
Edoardo Maggio/Business Insider
The program will not be supported anymore for the first time in 32 years, when it was first introduced in 1985's Windows 1.0.
Microsoft will retain Paint 3D, which it introduced with the Windows 10 Creators Update back in April, but the program doesn't share much with the three-decade-plus old Paint everyone knows and loves (or hates).
Paint 3D is designed to work with three-dimensional image making tools, and also allows for some basic 2D editing, but it doesn't look nor behave like the original one.
Paint will join Outlook Express, the Reader app, and Reader list in Windows 10's list of features that will be "removed or deprecated" when the Fall Creators Update comes.
