MICROSOFT IS FINALLY killing off its graphic program Paint after nearly 32 years in existence.
Paint has been part of the Windows operating system since Windows 1.0 was released in 1985.
It was known for its easy-to-use interface and it became one of the core features of Windows over the past three decades.
While it was never the most comprehensive graphic editing program available to PC users, it was a quick and easy solution for anyone who wanted to make a quick doodle or a cut-and-paste edit.
However, the computing giant has announced that it will remove the popular drawing program from its upcoming Windows 10 update.
[image alt="PAINT" src="http://cdn.thejournal.ie/media/2017/07/paint-18-296x185.jpg" width="296" height="185" title="" class="alignnone" /end]
Microsoft released the list of Windows 10 features that are set to be removed from the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, which will be released at some stage this autumn.
The company said that the features and functionalities on the list will either be removed from Windows 10 or “not in active development and might be removed in future releases”.
Other features that face being killed off include the Outlook Express emailing programme and the Reader app, which will be integrated into Microsoft Edge. The Windows screensaver functionality is set to be disabled in the Themes settings.
The Windows 10 Creators Update released in April introduced the new Paint 3D. This programme will continue following the autumn update.
While the 3D programme was inspired by the original Paint, it doesn’t work quite like it. It contains 3D image making tools, along with some 2D image editing tools.
It remains unknown when Paint will officially be removed from Windows, with Microsoft yet to make an announcement on the date of the Autumn Creators Update.
TheJournal.ie has contacted Microsoft for a statement.

Still don’t get the point of 2 UTV’s
forget about all that!! the news is 10 minutes late on rte1!!..PANIC!
Like a rat on a sinking ship!
I don’t know how he managed to do both the breakfast show on Newstalk and late news on UTV! Good decision, health should always come first!
This UTV Ireland thing is a total joke. People have been fuming about it. They don’t even have the Rugby World Cup, we have to put up with TV3. If you have Sky you’re lucky as you can at least get ITV but for UPC forget it…
What’s so good about ITV when compared to TV3 coverage of RWC ’15??
Am I missing something amazing on ITV?
Well BoD is on ITV!!
People love to kick tv3, but I think their coverage has been fine. A bit more ads than rte but they are fully commercial so they need to turn a profit.
Plus no George Hook on TV3, a major bonus.
TV3 coverage has been good. A lot better than ITV. Wilkinson, Woodward, O’Driscoll, the Web Ellis trophy has more personality than the 3 of them put together. At least Fester, Strings & Williams are watchable.
O’Driscoll was conspicuous in his absence on that RTE doc tonight about brain injury in rugby.
Yep, after initial shock after the extra ad breaks think TV3 have done a good job on the rugby, plus the HD makes all the diff. When I hear people giving out about it I just think they should keep their George hook and give me back my 160 quid. Everyone’s happy.
Itv is in hd.
Robert. What do you mean put up with TV3 its great for the Rugby World cup and now i watch 2 things on TV3 since DOB has put his fat fingers in that pie too. But other than that i wouldn’t diss it.
He did talk about it, he’s not a Doctor
HD
Can’t stand the guy ‘so politically correct’ he doesn’t have a single original idea……..
Yep, he is so middle of the road he should have dotted lines up his back.
Chris Donoghue is one of the most annoying guys in Irish media.
No personality to speak of.
Spews out inane politically correct cliches for a living. Feminist sympathiser par excellence.
Epitomizes everything that is wrong about the modern trendy male media hosts infecting the airwaves.. Wouldn’t recognize an original thought if it came up and bit him in the ass.
Without Twitter he would not have a career in radio,
He’d be working in a high street store selling shoes for a living.
It’s a definite issue having someone who’s so blatantly PC. He seems afraid of stating anything that might be deemed controversial. You can always hear his nervous laughter and his faux chiding when Yates says anything “risque”.
The vaudeville double act lost its appeal ages ago.
No substance in the content. On the odd occasion I’ve tuned in early in the morning I invariably end up thinking ‘Where’s the bloody news?’
ha ha ha brilliantly said…he’s a PC savvy bellend
Have to agree he’s a feminist sympathiser. Heard him one time interviewing a woman from the NWCI and he seemed to think she should have an opinion on men and housework. He kept pushing her, and she was wise to keep her mouth shut and say it was none of her business.
That Yates is what’s wrong with this country, he got a sweet little number there after the taxpayer funding his failed endeavours. He must have done a good rim job for DOB when he was part of the puppet government of the nineties. Big tearjerker spread in the papers of his fall from grace and how he turned to the bottle while going through bankrupsy, but when he alludes to that time on radio all he talks about is the race meetings and plush bnb’s of the Cotswolds. Lying arrogant animal having
a right laugh at us. I think Chris O donoghue knows this too

And Yates is a you hook who thinks he can say anything and get away with it.
* Yates is younger George Hook* fingers slipped AGAIN ugh.
Zero personality. Zero charm. Zero to offer. He’s perfect for RTE!
He’s good for a young fella and will do well in future years. but he lacks an edge right now and is a bit predictable IMO.
I sincerely hopes he stays away from RTE. Clare Byrne was always bland enough to go to RTE. She’s at home there and is hopeless, so well suited. This guy is better than that and I’d hate to see him get sucked into the vacuous black hole at RTE. Hopefully, Newstalk will have the sense to keep on to him and give him his own show in due course.
He definitely lacks an edge. He allows Yates to run rings around him on Newstalk. He’s too bland and want to please everyone it seems and not take any viewpoint.
Yes perfect for RTE they might poach him
Yates is far brighter, though. You couldn’t compare the two really.
Clare Byrne is a total cracker
She can speak into my microphone anyday.
I think he’ll come into his own with age. Yes he’s afraid to rock the boat but he’s usually well up on his brief.
You just fancy him Sara.
He is very sharp but is in danger of becoming the spokes person for newstalk water,
He needs to start reading the mood of the crowd not the producer agenda
Agree 100% Safe, boring, predictable and so PC.
Can’t listen to him.
He’s a highly irritating little man.
Far to PC. But probably no different to many other young journalists.
I suppose that’s the reason Yates and Hook are popular and controversial. Whether you like them or not they at least call it as it is
Yates is a total fraud. Literally hasn’t a clue. Populist personified.
Alan are you sitting down? I agree with you 100%.
I feel dirty now :-)
Who?
Who?
hel be hosting the late late once tubs gets his golden handshake in ten years
Never heard of him…
He was considered a “marquee signing”????
He’s useless on both TV and radio,, basically a pr man for Irish water and the blue shirts.. His head annoys me too.. Ventriloquist dummy head on him.
Chris. You should have left Newstalk. DOB made up a lot of peoples minds when he bought most of the Media, which i might add should not have been allowed by the Government.
I hope he wasn’t paid by the viewer!
Single man I think but those hours can’t be easy.
Anyway did you know (or care) that his co-host and ” voice on dart’ you are now approaching Raheny …. are siblings
Voice on Dart has more personality.
Is he quiting or staying. Or is he been pushed to side. ?

Why do not everyone just download mobdro app and watch anything they like in a wifi spot
