Microsoft's iconic Paint application is coming to the end of its development, having been available in Windows since 1985.
The application provides for basic computer graphics editing and has been available with all consumer Windows operating systems, with marginal improvements with each iteration.
Its simplistic nature made it one of the most used Windows applications ever, but now it's days are numbered.
Paint has shown up on a list of Windows 10 features that will either be removed, or will no longer be developed. The list was issued as part of the Windows 10 Fall Creators update.
The successor to Paint - Paint 3D - will still be available for sure.
Other popular apps that face the axe are Outlook Express and Reader.
