Windows 10: Microsoft launches a new Artistic Endeavors wallpaper pack for Windows 10

One of the new features that Windows 10 added to the operating system was support for themes. Bunch of these themes are already available in the Microsoft Store and users can have a look at them right now.

Earlier this week, Microsoft published a new theme titled Artistic Endeavors in the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 devices. It comes with images of birds, flowers, and landscapes. These images are to be used as desktop wallpaper only.

Windows 10 themes are a very easy way to customize the looks of your computer but it won’t completely overhaul your desktop. They aren’t supposed to change anything else than colours, wallpapers and sounds. For Artistic Endeavors will only add new wallpapers.



“These calming brushstrokes of birds, flowers, and landscapes are pretty as a picture – or 20 – in this free 19-image set from Windows 10 Themes. These images are to be used as desktop wallpaper only,” description reads.

If you’re interested, you can download it from here and apply the changes from the Settings app.

Microsoft signals end of Paint program

Microsoft has confirmed that it will continue to offer its graphics program Paint.

In a recent update, it had listed Paint as a feature that would be either removed or no longer developed.

Paint, renowned for its simplicity, has been part of the Windows operating system since its launch in 1985.

Microsoft suggested it would not remain on Windows 10 by default but did say it would be available for free on the Windows Store.

Microsoft to Celebrate Windows 10 Launch Around the World on July 29

I also prefer Windows PCs to MAC PCs but Microsoft is so irresponsible with Windows e.g. they do not update drivers and installation images until some service pack comes out or big update (Windows 8.1, Windows 8.1 Update 1).

That means that when you install Windows 7 SP1 you have to install over 200 updates which is bandwith consuming (for Microsoft and consumer) and time consuming, thank god for the people who integrate updates into .iso images.

I had a lot of problems with Windows 7 because I could not install it from USB drive because there is some bug and you hve to take out USB drive and then put it back in at some point to start installation, this happened to me on a few computers and that is because Microsoft doesn't want to update drivers on installation image.

There is also something that many people did not notice, how Microsoft tricked consumers and made new product (Windows 10) instead of issuing service pack to older one (Windows 8.1). Microsoft posts their support dates and Windows 8 did not recieve any service pack since its launch and now when Microsoft basically made service pack for Windows 8 which is called Windows 10 they will offer free upgrade (service pack) just for the first year and that means that after first year you will have to pay for service pack. This gets even worse with enterprise costumers who can't even upgrade to Windows 10.
And "Windows 8.1" update and "Windows 8.1 Update 1" update are not service packs, service pack is a service pack.
