UPDATE: New version released with lots of new features and Office 2010 ribbons UI.
We have blogged about Windows Vista look like MSPaint for Windows XP. Lots of people asked for Windows 7 look like MSPaint application for XP and Vista and today we are sharing the same with you all.
"PaintRibbon" is a program created by "Bluuur". It looks very much similar to Windows 7 Paint application:
Its a portable app so you don't need to install it. Simply run the EXE file.
It works in Windows XP, Vista and 7. The latest version has an entirely new Office 2010 Ribbon, layers functionality, filters, social media integration and much more. It's now a very full-featured image-editing program - totally different to the last version.
You can download it using following link:
Thanks "James" for letting us know about it...

Reading from a mobile phone now is something common, and it is no need to post that your browsing is free, here i [personaly] want to hear if the app. is good or bad etc. Keep up with your mobile but don't refer it.

Hi Vishal,
I have been looking around for an app that emulates Windows 7's Paint and so far this is the only one I've seen with an actual ribbon UI. But I believe the ribbon Ui in 7's paint isn't this type. I do know that you understand what I'm talking about, but just in case, here's an image.
As you can see, the ribbon doesn't have the orb like Microsoft Office 2007, but its a small blue rectangle with an icon as found in Microsoft Office 2010 (aka Office 14.) Well, its still under development so I do wish the developers of this wonderful portable application would make some changes to its UI.
I am very sorry for my poor English as I am not a native English speaker, in fact I'm from Indonesia.

EDC, don't be an asshat. He's just excited to be basking in Vishal's awesomeness. As long as it's not incredibly profane or spam I don't think VG minds.

Still waiting for the next update (V2.0 ?) it's not (too) useful for now, even i can't draw anything with it. Paint.net is still much better, but well what a nice GUI though.
@Fajar, hey bro i'm from Indonesia too
