Snipping tool doesn't exist on hospital PCs?
Centralised Group Policy Objects (GPOs) on the Windows Domain, can block any EXE that's on the machine, or a customised deployment image of Windows 10 can even be configured to not installed any of the built in applications. So yes, no snipping tool on a deployed installation of Windows 10 is a real scenario. Also, GPOs can (and do) disable the Windows Store. So moving MSPaint to the Windows Store does not make as av…

#34One more thing pushing me to interface with an online store. One less reason for picking Windows for my "toolbench" computer. The paranoid in me is expecting there to be a catch to this new paint application. Ads? DLC?

#35What is, and has been great about MS Paint is that no matter what Windows machine I have been on, I know that I have had it available. No matter if it's my old grandma's computer, if I have needed to quickly do something simple with an image, MS Paint has always been there for me. Now that will no longer be the case. If I have to download and install it on the computer before I use it, then what is the point? It will…

I think so. That also means that for shared or strictly managed computers, it won't be installed or installable. No more screenshots on the hospital PC, then.

Your comment is vague and unconstructive. I'd ask you to substantiate your claim, but its not even clear what that claim is.
"Having taste" is not a fact, but an opinion, so of course he can't "substantiate it"

There will still be a Paint on every Windows machine, it's just Paint 3D instead of MS Paint from now on. And yes, Paint 3D allows to manipulate 2D images as MS Paint did.

#40That's a clickbait title if I ever saw one. It seems Microsoft is trying to force uwp apps down our throats. It is sad because classic programs systematically feels snappier and are more efficient. They show their age, but are definitely less annoying than their sexier windows 10 version. I don't know how many time I tried =really tried= to use the photo app or the new remote desktop app, but I always come back very…
