Why hasn't microsoft paint improve?

[Red Stranger]

The version of Paint I have on my computer right now is exactly the same as the Window's 95 version one. Why hasn't Microsoft done anything to improve the program? Even a little bit would help. For God sakes, they've improved on everything else, why not Paint.

What's the point for Microsoft to improve paint?

If you're looking for a free alternative: The Gimp works well.

Because paint is basically an absolutely no frills editor, that uses up nno memory.

Paint is indeed improved. Back then it can only read/write Bitmaps(BMP). Now it supports many other formats too.

Not to mention those bug fixes and security fixes ;P

Your lucky that Microsoft didn't remove features from Paint! I hear that they sometimes do just that!

You can use Serif PhotoPlus 6 (freeware) as a fine alternative. It feels right - like it bellongs on a MS Windows system, and is much like Adobe Photoshop.
