I object to Paint being on the list. Paint is great for exactly the reasons they don’t like it: it’s simple, it’s quick, it doesn’t do anything exciting. Anybody trying to write a bug about weird screen stuff loves Paint, instead of spending a paragraph failing to describe the problem, alt-Print Screen, open Paint, ctrl-V, save, attach to the bug report. It’s the Notepad of image editing.
They also failed to distinguish between things that are current issues with XP/Vista and things that used to be a problem but are either fixed or no longer part of the OS. But mostly, I laughed because I remember most of these issues from the past 22 years of Windows.
I like Paint too. But I liked Paintbrush even better. With the grid feature I can do prints at work that rival AutoCad. I still use Paintbrush...
