Mary Jo Foley, an award-winning journalist (no air quotes) with 30 years of experience DID write in January that Microsoft is planning on phasing out the Windows Store for Business. Log in to Replyĭon’t spread misinformation, and don’t you dare cast aspersions at people who do great work despite having difficult jobs given how poorly Microsoft communicates. In reply to j5:Who made the decision to remove Start Menu in Windows 8?Who made the decision to remove Windows Borders in Windows 10?Who made the decision to remove Advanced Appearance settings in Windows 10?Who made the terrible UWP ugly Start Menu in Windows 10?Who made the terrible UWP ugly Settings mess in Windows 10 to replace the good Control Panel?Who made the decision to ALL CAPS menus in Office 2013?Who made the decision to remove Previous Versions based on Shadow Copies in Windows 10Who made the terrible UWP ugly, mobile, limited and slowly framework apps in Windows 10Who made the terrible, caothic and unuseable "New Project Dialog" in Visual Studio 2019Someone without common sense and very little intelligence: Microsoft. Microsoft is also putting Notepad in the Store now. And Microsoft is removing the 3D tools, including Paint 3D, from Windows 10. Aggiornamenti Lumia reports that Paint is finally available in the Microsoft Store, though I’m not seeing it yet.
But it did add some new features: Microsoft announced new keyboard input support in mid-2019.įlash forward two more years and we’re finally seeing more movement on this.
Microsoft still hadn’t added Paint to the Store.
So Microsoft backtracked, stating that it would keep Paint in Windows 10 going forward. But Paint 3D never emerged as a viable Paint replacement, thanks in part to its cartoonish, touch-based UI, and in part because literally no average Windows 10 users care at all about 3D. Right, this was so long ago that the Microsoft Store was still called the Windows Store.Īt the time of the original announcement, Microsoft expected that Paint 3D would replace Paint and that it could appease customers by making Paint available as an option from the Store.
“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,” Microsoft noted at the time. In 2017, Microsoft announced that it was going to move Microsoft Paint into the Microsoft Store so that it could be updated more frequently.
