Microsoft considers killing Paint
Microsoft has listed Paint in a list of deprecated features in the Windows 10 Fall Creator’s Update.
Paint being listed as “deprecated” means it is no longer in active development and may be removed from future releases.
Other deprecated features include System Image Backup, various IIS features, and Windows Powershell 2.0.
Features being completely removed with the update include Outlook Express, the screen-saver functionality in Themes, and the 3D Builder app.
Microsoft revealed the Fall Creators Update earlier this year, which was set to include Timeline, Pick Up Where You Left Off, Cloud Clipboard, and OneDrive Files On-Demand.
Microsoft executive Joe Belfiore said in June, however, that Timeline won’t make it into the update. “We’re planning for it to be in early Insider builds shortly after the Fall Creators Update is out,” he said.
Timeline, combined with Pick Up Where You Left Off, will let you switch between tasks on multiple devices – including those running Android and iOS.
It also lets you look “back in time” to find what you were working on and resume that session.
The Verge reported that Microsoft plans to release the Fall Creators Update for Windows 10 in September.
