Microsoft Paint is not dead, company says, after huge outpouring of anger over drawing app

Microsoft will not kill of Paint, it has now said. A suggestion from the company that it would "deprecate" the app and may remove it from future versions of Windows provoke rage, sadness and nostalgia among almost everyone on the internet when it was announced. But Microsoft has now made clear that it will be sticking around – albeit in a different form. The app has been a mainstay of Windows for 32 years, but will be taken out of the main operating system and put in the app store. And it will be partially replaced by a new app called Paint 3D, which offers some of the same features. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.
