Microsoft announced that Paint is officially deprecated with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. Anyway last version of the program will still be usable in Windows 10.
Paint (formerly Paintbrush) is a simple, ultra-basic graphics painting program that is included with almost all versions of Microsoft Windows. It opens and saves files as Windows bitmap (24-bit, 256 color, 16 color, and monochrome, all with the .bmp extension), JPEG, GIF (without animation or transparency), PNG (without alpha channel), and TIFF (without the multiple pages).

Wrong.
It's great for pixel work. It's minimal. You don't need gradients, anti-aliasing and whatnot if you're trying to create tiny graphics (say, for a LED display).
I haven't found a decent replacement yet and I'm using W(h)ine to run it on Linux and / or Mac OS... go figure.
