--------
I like the original MS-Paint to draw doodles and stuff. It is simple so you can maybe learn the basics of drawing programs as :
what a canvas is ? Geometric forms to put in drawing (SHIFT for symetric). How make ellipses, Bézier curves... Write text... Or rotate image 90 degrees (yeah, very limited). Different image formats.
It is possible to do some semi-decent stuff on it.
MS-Paint is an okay basic program. Its numerous limitations are beneficial in this case if you have never used a drawing software before.
More powerful software have like a gazillion of options and checkboxes and menus that can feel very overwhelming.

My most favorite Windows program besides NOTEPAD is Windows Movie Maker.
I made a few videos with it. The program is very functional and it is free. You can make transitions like in MS Power Point (not free). There are librairies and files you can download to have extra sound effects or transitions.
Windows Movie Maker was discontinued and its new iteration sucks. The new incarnation of Movie Maker has very few options and is an downgrade to the original Movie Maker.
********
I feel the same about Minesweeper. Windows 10 upgrade removed Minesweeper because why not... Downloading original Minewsweeper is complicated so you are stuck with XBOX Minesweeper.
XBOX Minesweeper is
too graphical and modern UI. It does not follow the spirit of the original game : simple UI, dull colors and minimalistic.

On a related note, I got a new computer recently with Windows 10 pre-installed. It has an integrated web cam because 70 % of the lap tops have web cams nowadays. :(
The newest computers all come with two programs :
1) FACE SCANNER to upload your face in a 3D file...
The things that you can do with are called "Face RIGGING". What happens basically is that your 3D avatar in a MMO will lipsync with your real self.
Lot of investment in that field so Microsoft will prob. get lots of cash money with this partnership.
(Some MMOs developpers explore NPL. They basically want to have chat bots inside their MMOs because reasons...)
2) 3D Printing.
This program manipulates 3D objects. You can use positive or negative geometry when merging to basic shapes together to build very complex objects...
The 3D market is in boom and many related-sites have spawned...
A big deal for Microsoft to have a part in the market.
---------
It is a sure thing that Microsoft dozen of other things recently like its streaming software and etc

In my opinion, the 3D paint looks like it will support parallalax. I think that it could be maybe a sensible move for Microsoft to push into web animation with its MS 3D paint like flash or html5.
