I just read that MS are planning to remove Paint
and Wordpad. I guess that makes sense. It's a gradual
transformation from a productivity device to a services
kiosk. Happy shopping.

I'm a little surprised, though, that no legal authorities
or competing companies are complaining about them including
XBox, Office, Skype, etc. For a long time they were careful
not to bundle competitive software. Now they're loading
the system with it, and I saw recently that their Windows
Essentials security software is now top-rated.
