Paint isn’t dead and won’t die it appears for now. Microsoft has confirmed original app will still live on in the Windows 10 store.

“Microsoft Paint is dead, RIP“. That’s what you heard or saw somewhere online last night or this morning depending on your time zone. The support was massive. There were tributes and farewells all over the internet.  

If you are a frequent user then you love the application. Good news it’s going only to the Windows store so you need not worry. Confirmed by Microsoft with the doodle below in a blog post, hopefully designed with the app 🙂 . The app will be available for download from the Windows store and not preinstalled in the OS.

Today, we’ve seen an incredible outpouring of support and nostalgia around MS Paint. If there’s anything we learned, it’s that after 32 years, MS Paint has a lot of fans. It’s been amazing to see so much love for our trusty old app. Amidst today’s commentary around MS Paint we wanted to take this opportunity to set the record straight, clear up some confusion and share some good news:

MS Paint is here to stay, it will just have a new home soon, in the Windows Store where it will be available for free.

Looking at Microsoft’s plan for Windows 10 operating system, termed Creators Update, it seems legit.

Let me Introduce you to Paint 3D 

Our beloved app has evolved. First you need to know it still has every single feature you’ve used and comes with more features.

“the modern-era version of MS Paint, with new capabilities and functions that bring it up to 2017 standards” – Zac Bowden

Microsoft Nigeria shows Love with Act of Kindness

by | Feb 17, 2016 | 4Afrika, Events, General, Windows

Microsoft Nigeria went out of it’s way to show love during the season of love with the Act of Kindness program.

Microsoft Nigeria

The employees of Microsoft Nigeria spent a whole day with students of the Jinadu Anglican Primary School, Ikoyi, Lagos where they taught students and painted the school walls.

The team believes Microsoft’s goal is to enable, empower and inspire people and organizations to do more and that was exactly what they set out to do with their Act of Kindness during the valentine season of love.

Microsoft Nigeria

Microsoft Nigeria partnered with United For Education Foundation and TechCity to show love. Microsoft’s partnership with United for Education Foundation’s, Teach for Change program has already seen them provide volunteers for four other schools in Lagos State.

Kabelo Makwane, Managing Director at Microsoft Nigeria said the children have been touched and we’ve given them a new sense of perspective and they’ll one day do great things and achieve more.

 At Microsoft Nigeria we asked how can we spend more time with this children and show them love and we thought this is it. – Olusen Adenuga, MSD Global Mkt. Operations
