From WhatPort80

MS Paint is a crappy program that has come bundled free with every version of Microsoft Windows since Windows 1.0. The program has not had any substantial changes to improve its power or usability in the two intervening decades and is considered inferior to an etch-a-sketch, often taking over nine thousand hours to complete one really crappy picture. It is used either by those who do not have the ability or knowledge to run something better on their computer, too stupid to steal trial Photoshop off Bit-torrent the official Adobe Photoshop website, or real 1337 users who pwn those high end software jerks with every byte they create. The same goes for MS Paint. Most n00bs on such sites as Furry-Paws.com use it to make crappy avatars using every color on the toolbar and the preset box tool.

With the release of Windows XP MS Paint was now able to save with .gif and .jpg formats. Technically MS Paint can also save files with a .png extension, but since it has no idea how PNGs work, it simply saves them as a .jpg that looks like a .png, knowing that no one stupid enough to use the program will be able to tell the difference.

Macs simply don't have enough megaherz to handle enterprise-quality software like MS Paint, and Mactards must content themselves with crap ripoffs.
