>> That's not really MS's fault then, is it?

Yes it is. Paint has been a bundled app for decades and they have decided not to include it any more. "Available for free" is different than "comes included". Also, this whole thing looks like a big advertisement for their new Paint3D or whatever it is. They promote it in the blog and point out that it has a lot of features Paint has, and oh by the way it's free in the store too just like Paint.

But corporate policies can also uninstall it. I've been on plenty of corporate or educational machines without it installed.

You're trying very hard to be a victim here. It isn't optimal that it is removed from the stock OS, but its still there.

Nope. I run Linux or OSX at home so I don't really care one way or the other. But I do see it as pushing some kind of agenda on MS part since it is a change and it did promote another program as an alternative. I see clearly in this case.

I think 90% of people here wouldn't comment on this story had they actually tried paint3d.

It's just a mspaint with an updated layout and more features. Y'all are arguing about msoffice 2007 vs 2010.

I never downloaded it, is just bundled like every other utility into insider versions of windows10, its certainly superior to paint.

Almost a bit worrying how fearful of change some hn people are.
