Just How Dead Is Microsoft Paint UpdatedThis morning, Windows users woke to terrible news Microsoft was reportedly axing its beloved Microsoft Paint. The program, which has been annotating our memes, creating our webcomics, and teaching us how to art since 1. Microsofts list of Windows features to be removed or deprecated in the Windows 1. Fall Creators Update. But this doesnt mean Paint as we know it is dead The list Paint was featured on very specifically says that each product will either be killed, or it will be deprecatedwhich merely means it will no longer be actively developed. Paint falls into the latter category. So it could be dropped in a future update, or it could hang around for the next decadean artifact of a different time. Outlook Express, another Windows application thats conjures memories for older users, is being killed in the same update. It is officially supplanted by the big boy Microsoft Outlook, which is more stylistically in line with Windows 1. Outlook Express. While Outlook Express has long languished in the shadow of its hipper Outlook cousin, MS Paint has seen infrequent updates that at least allow it to look like it belongs on a 2. Microsoft is very aware of how much affection users have for Microsoft Paint. The product, which many of us used as a digital doodling book when we were kids, has a cult following. When Microsoft briefed press on the original Creators Update back in March, its representatives only had nice things to say about the application. Paint is on every Windows computer It makes creating art easy Its like Photoshop but simple and free This is not how you talk when youre planning to ax a product. This morning, Windows users woke to terrible news Microsoft was reportedly axing its beloved Microsoft Paint. The program, which has been annotating our memes. This is definitely the kind of talk you deliver when youre launching a new Paint product. Which was what was happening at that press briefing. Microsoft launched Paint 3. D, a 3. D rendering and printing tool intended to simplify the production of 3. D products, in March. The name Paint 3. D was specifically used so play on peoples nostalgia for MS Paint. Its not unreasonable to expect that the upcoming Fall Creators Update will see Paint 3. D expanded to incorporate the features we all know and love from Paint. Either way, it is not in Microsofts best interest to kill an application that has been loved for more than 3. Right now Microsoft is campaigning to steal all the artists and other creators who have traditionally preferred the Mac ecosystem for creating digital art. Its why Microsoft spent so much time talking about the Surface Pen when it updated the Surface Pro a few months ago, and its why it launched the Surface Studio last October. Heck, its why it keeps calling every new Windows OS update a creators update. It wants those users Transforming its most enduring creative application into something more robust is a clear next step.

Or Microsoft could just leave MS Paint in the Deprecated column for a while, a cool app eventually destined to be forgotten as younger computer users snap up alternate tools like Photoshop Express or Autodesk Sketchbook. Either way Microsoft Paint isnt dead, its just deprecated, and Microsoft has made no comment on how long it could be deprecated. So maybe dont go ordering funeral flowers just yet. Weve reached out to Microsoft to learn more about the plans for Paint and will update if we hear back get back to us. Update A Microsoft spokesperson responded with the following statement MS Paint is not going away. In addition to the new 3. D capabilities, many of the MS Paint features people know and love like photo editing and 2. D creation are in Paint 3. D the new app for creativity, available for free with the Windows 1. Creators update. In the future, we will offer MS Paint in the Windows Store also for free and continue to provide new updates and experiences to Paint 3.

The Stooges frontman notices distinctive differences between his bandmates instrumental skills compared to original guitar player RON ASHETON, who passed away in 2. James performances unlike the late rockers intuitive approach. He said With early Stooges, half of Rons contribution was intuitive in that he just let the guitar and the amp talk in the spirit of Brison Gysin and William Burroughs cut ups. He was a volume player, but didnt control it like Blue Cheer or Ted Nugent. He found some beautiful places to go. James was a very controlled, brutal player Later in life, Ron became a terrific live player, because he never stopped playing, but he also became a lot more like everybody else. Williamson had 3. My contribution to this record is mostly in melodies. The band have recently released their new album Ready To Die and the final song on the record, titled The Departed, makes references to their journey over the years as well as reminiscing about former members they have lost.

Iggy Pop is almost super human according to his bandmate James WIlliamson, who is impressed by the performance the singer gives on a nightly basis. Iggy Pop is almost super humanThe punk rock singe ris still giving his all at every performance, despite being 6. The Stooges, with his energy. Guitarist James Williamson told Faster. Louder. com. au He is almost super human. This will be about the 1. Ive worked with him personally, on stage that is. I think the similarity between then and now is that he will do anything to go over with an audience, anything. He cant stand it if hes not getting to the audience. There is some power within him that draws on the energy of the audience, so if you have a better audience you get a better show. I dont know any human being who Ive ever met who is willing to do what he does. Iggy and The Stooges have just released a new album, Ready to Die, and James who is also joined in the band by Scott Asheton, Steve Mackay and Mike Watt found it interesting to go back into the studio with Iggy, as he hadnt worked with him on a studio album since the 7. He added I wasnt sure we could write anymore, you know its been a long time. But we sat down a couple of years ago and started out playing bits and pieces. And then started saying lets try to write some new material. We have kind of a chemistry writing together, and we can write really quickly. Ill sit down and try to come up with a guitar riff that I like, and if I like it Ill try to sell it to Ig. If he likes it then hell start putting some lyrics to it and we start going back and forth.
