Microsoft Paint to be killed off after 32 years

Worse; Paint is part of a lot of troubleshooting 'screenshot' processes; precisely because it IS easy to use and is /already included/.

Quickly taking a look at the most used products where I work...

MS Office Installer https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iI...

MS Word (I stopped here) https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iI...

Darn, it would be nice if MS was forced to break up in to different product divisions so that their Office product would be released on various platforms.

Except... it is released on various platforms. That 'Linux desktop' isn't part of it doesn't mean that Office isn't on pretty much every other relevant platform (Windows desktop, macOS, Android, iOS, web, ...).
