mspaint

I love “mspaint”. Microsoft has not made a better app for the Windows ecosystem than mspaint. One could argue on whether Task Manager or Notepad is 2nd, but neither is close to the great mspaint. The quick load time and expressive capability of mspaint cements it in the Windows hall of fame.

It would be redundant to write a blog praising mspaint, so here are some other useful apps I use.
microsoft
- notepad: Simple, fast, and easily managed notes.
- snip & sketch: Always had to use Gyazo for this, but now they have a “native” solution.
not-microsoft
- windirstat: Useful when cleaning up files to make space.
- autohotkey: A scripting language designed to make hotkeys.
