Or Chocolatey: http://chocolatey.org/packages/paint.net/
Exactly. cinst paint.net This is how you should install software on any OS. If you're still hunting for downloading links you're doing it wrong.
Oh yes. Users who don't know how to crop a photo w/out Photoshop are totally using a Package Manager and the command line to install stuff.
Chocolatey is great, but unfortunately package managers don't work for every piece of software on every OS. Period.

#93I've been in several offices where people think they need Photoshop to crop or resize photos. Consequently no-one has Photoshop (because its expensive) and people end up pasting 2000x800 images of logos into their letterhead and wondering why all the word files got so big. Paint.Net is brilliant for doing common tasks like that. Its a shame you have to play 'guess the download link' - that has really stopped me from…

#94Once I read somewhere that Paint.NET developer is the only in the interwebs than can make a living out only of donations for his software. I don't know if this is true, but it is totally deserved.
I use Paint.NET for a lot of things, most of them professionally. If I someday get lucky in this startup lottery thing, I intend to donate some thousands of dollars.
EDIT for add: I see a lot of comments talking about using Paint.NET for croping and resizing. I do so much more than this. I actually create all kinds of communication materials with it. Flyers, images for a landing page, business cards, etc. The layers feature is what make it of great value for me. Also the feature to open different images at the same time is great to create an image that includes a logo, a stock photo, a standard background.
Two things that are missing: be able to save it using CMYK color scheme (better for professional printing) and saving as PDF (easier to send it to graphic stores).

#95I had this, but got rid. I find my mastery of regular paint suffices and for anything else, I can hop into Photoshop.
There are many people who can't afford Photoshop, so Paint.NET is useful for those who want something better than paint without having to sell their car to pay for software.

My daughter accidentally downloaded 6 different programs while trying to download Paint.net some which were malware. While I understand these are ads probably out of their control, their website is extremely deceptive in my opinion and should be modified to make the actual Paint.net download more obvious.

heck, I downloaded some random program while trying to install it a few weeks ago - and I've got a compsci MSc from Oxford.

ImgBurn has the same disease: http://i.imgur.com/8HbuKgl.png
The real download links are below the fold.
