MS Paint UWA coming to Windows 10

[Dot Matrix]

It appears Microsoft may be modernizing their MS Paint program into a UWA app. From MSPowerUser:

Paint, one of the oldest applications that come with Windows may be getting a major update sometime soon. Recently, Microsoft enthusiast WalkingCat discovered a new app called “Newcastle” on the Windows Store. The app was previously called “New Paint”, according to WalkingCat. Now, we got our hands-on the Newcastle app — which turns out to be a modern Paint. No, this isn’t just a Centennial app, and it seems like a native Universal Windows App. With the app, you can do all kinds of basic photo editing, just like you can do on the current Paint app. This app could be packed with the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, but it isn’t quite clear if Microsoft will kill the classic Paint app which a lot of users actually use. However, to be honest, the new Paint app is far more superior, and definitely works a lot better in Windows 10.

I wonder how well it compares to Paint.net?

hmmm....anyone else thinks this particular window looks weird?

 

When did Microsoft start putting "Microsoft Software License Terms" on individual apps.  I've only seen "Terms of Use" (or "Microsoft Services Agreement") and "Privacy Statement" and couple of others ... and they do not "pop out" in another window.  

 

Oh well..that last screenshot just looks weird to me.

 

Otherwise ... it doesn't look like a bad app.  This UWP App fits the basic functionality of Paint nicely.
