Hopefully they’re working on a Mac port
Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader The Schroot who sent us this awesome YouTube video he came across. Funniest thing I’ve seen in awhile.

That. Was. Awesome!
Especially when he started talking about the dual erasers 😀
Thanks Macenstein!
that was hilarious!!!!!
ha ha ha ha
i watched it without sound and it was still entertaining.
I love paint!!
I am a graphic artist and MS Paint is the only tool I need in my tool box.
What would computers be like without it?
I can’t wait for the dual eraser upgrade. Is it going to be in the Vista SP1?
😉
hahah that was funny.

That was amazing
I want it!
Why is this funny?
LOL
Paintbrush 0.8:
bloody class stuff :0
They’re making fun of Paint, but it sounds exactly like how Mac zealots talk.
Brandyn: It’s not.
boring…
Wow. Mac fans trying to make fun of a program that’s 15 years old for being too simple. Me saying that it’s hilarious would be even more sarcastic than most of what they said in the video. What is this, some week long student project?
the future is in the past
Mac snobs! Boring AND unfunny!
Yep… boring…
so… people who own macs (as witnessed by the one button mouse and mac keyboards) like making fun of old MS applications.
I guess you really do learn something everyday!
Mac Snob? I love that catchall.
How about Winidiot….
Change is good….
Can we thing the line?
No.
Okay
well this was fucking retarded
Guess I never looked at paint as a Graphic Arts program. Just something fun to add to the OS out-of-the-box. Mac Fools.
hahaha. Mac fangirls making fun of something this old is amazing. Whats next, the fangirls start making fun of MINESWEEPER! Its still more advanced than any mac game ;P
Funny
Few good ones but mainly dull, liked the future is the past line but thats about it. Fanboi stuff should be noted up front, after years and years of this stuff it quits being funny. Hey Mac people love Mac, Window people love Windows, and Linux people…… well we are not sure what they do when the lights are out. (JK). Got all three, use all three, like all three, myself.
I can’t believe no one gets this shit. its making fun of artists. like the graphic designer who says paint is all he needs. There is almost nothing artistic about using MSPaint.
mac snobs?
more like the internet is filled with morons.
Well, they finally did it. I expected something was up when Steve Ballmer got on stage dancing and screaming “Painters. Painters, Painters..”. I really am amazed that his words have come to fruition and with such style!
the 3d pipes screen saver was crackin me up
Funny thing to me, is even the winidiots quickly write-off MSPaint as a novelty toy. You don’t have to be an anything-snob to appreciate that.
Considering how Winblows wants to be everything to everybody, finding this little artifact still on new OSes is amusing.
Hahaha, the best part was the guy dressed with the turtle neck. I think the stereotype of the MAC users was the funniest part. You’d think they would come up with a more clever piece of software to make fun of instead of a 15 year old basic graphic application…Oh well.
Oh and just an FYI, paint actually can produce some pretty amazing pieces, check this guy out:
Awesome!
I wanna be a graphic designer!
It’s funny because OS X comes with iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD, 3 pretty powerful multimedia applications and Windows comes with… Paint. Yeah, one could argue that it’s in bad form to make fun of a 15 year old application, but that’s not really what they’re doing, they’re making fun of the fact that the best graphics program included with windows is STILL a 15 year old application. I guess there is the Windows movie program, but that’s as archaic and useless as paint, even though it was written more recently.
It’s not just multimedia where Macs have a leg ahead as far as pack-ins go, though, there are hundreds of really cool tools that come already installed on a new Mac (or on the included install media).
Agreed, 3d pipes was the funniest part. Maybe the only funny part.
oh some people just aren’t very perceptive..though THEy tragically criticize those who are.
The video is hysterical – and nice production too. Folks stuck on windows are fools. Windows users come up with any exuse to _not_ try Linux or OSX. Vista – hahahahaha.
some people can make some cool stuff in paint http://youtube.com/watch?v=vUWqRhReaZk
for those who don’t understand why this is funny.
– they make it sound like they invented the first paint program. But MS Paint appears to be just a knockoff of MacPaint which was out years before this and others paint programs long before that:
http://www.computerhistory.org/archive/14_paint.pdf
– the people are just such perfect geeks/artists
– its a classic example of tech marketing in the 80’s
– everybody looks very 80’s
– the language is so contrived. they try and speak so slowly and often sound like they are speaking like william shatner.
– it shows how far we’ve come.
– they talk about how amazing it is that you save a file electronically on disk. wow.
– they also make it sound like they invented the spray can tool.
check out the (whas was considered high tech) screensavers behind them.
its funny, its history, don’t take it personally.
That was good.
I love the part where they spend 8 months picking the best 12 colors.
Even as a Windows Fanboy..this was funny
They’re not just making fun of Paint. Every promo video for the latest and greatest version of insert-big-name-app-here is like that… and they nailed it. Hard.
I liked it, it’s well-executed. But there’s something the Mac users here seem to forget: the Mac doesn’t have a simple application like Paint in its toolbox. And you know something: it’s pretty damn useful. It doesn’t have a lot of features and I haven’t seen many changes in it [if at all] in all the time I know it, but it’s very useful for simple editing work in graphics. I use it -all the time- at work.
Another one I use every day: the Notepad. Thanks for showing me that one, Edwin! Of course, TextEdit is an extremely powerful text editor and I’ve done some really groovy stuff with it.
But a Paint-like application is not a stupid idea. And the usefullness is proven by the fact that it’s in every version of Windows.
I’m as hardcore a Mac driver as they come, and I’d rather not use a computer than use Windows [at home, don’t want to at work but I don’t have a choice there] but not every feature in Windows is bad. If you compare it to iLife, it’s a toy, there is just -nothing- like iLife anywhere, certainly not for that money, but that doesn’t mean Paint can’t have any added value. The small apps like Sound Recorder, Notepad and Paint are just about as useful as you could want.
For what it needs to do, Paint kicks butt, and you -can- create art with it, there are examples, but you need some patience :).
Having said that, Paint, Sound Recorder and a few other clever ideas don’t make me a Windows fan. I can run Windows in Boot Camp or in a virtual machine if I wanted to. The idea alone is enough to make me squirm. Mac all the way, baby!
I thought this to be a rather interesting video myself. I didn’t know paint was created by such brainy persons. A few years ago I found paint on my computer that I purchased, and began experimenting with it, to see how it work, and began using it with what I was then studying in art, along with photo shops, the use paint and of photo enhancements, basically for myself to determine who the rightful artists may have been. I do know my own techniques I use in using these programs, are of my own, not actually used by others,.. for making the same determinations, when concerning who correct artists might just happen to have been, when concerning the old masters of fine art.

[to frances] — e-bleeding-xactly. Given Apple don’t want to give people the ability to edit images (yes, I know you can crop in Preview, but that’s not what I need), I’ve spent a lot of time hunting around for a free pixel-based editing app on the Mac, and while there’s the gimp, that’s not really trivial to get going.
Sure, Paint is old and cheesy, but it’s there, it’s free, and it works..
People don’t use paint anyway. They use photoshop which is cross platform. Stupid mac nazis.. >_>
you can tell that this was done by mac fans not by the fact that they are dissing a windows app but by the ridiculous haircuts.
ha.. now you notice, it’s true, you can tell a Mac user by the fact that they all look like they have just had a do-over by those queer eye guys. you know it’s true.
It was pretty funny still..
Theres time I will never get back, what a complete idiotic video.
Xocide, if your time is so precious, I would suggest avoiding the internet entirely.
AHAHAHAAAAAHHHH!!!! HAHAHA,
That was rediculous!
What a pack of wankers!
Xocide, I can see that time is so crucial to you, you wasted twice as much by writing a fuckwit comment…
Haha.. Truely epic! I wonder what Microsoft will say? :p
