Version: Paint.NET 2.61
"excellent free paint program"
Pros: the best and the simplest painting program i used. similar interface to ms paint but with very enhanced feature that can handle most of the regular/common image task. it support layer, clone stamp, some of the most essential and important image effect. also basic tools like eraser, pencil, etc. the newest version 3.0 has even more advanced feature, like multi-window support, gradient tool and few more effects that makes it a tough player in its category.
Cons: nothing much. the system requirement might be a little high. also if you need to touch-up and manipulate image on the expert level, you may need photoshop or gimp to do the job since this app can't go that far on the level.

"If you want a free replacement for mspaint, this is for you"
Pros: It is free but still an exellent program. You can get add-ons for it. It has cool effects such as emboss and it supports multiple layers.
Cons: It can be unstable at times. Doesn't support multiple windows.

Version: Paint.NET 2.61
Pros: All the functions I could ever want are in this program, plus it has a few that are just plain fun. it's not bulky and it's pretty user freindly.
Cons: You have to install Microsoft.net frame work for the program to work.

"Amazingly simple, easy, effective"
Pros: Where to start? This program has many cool features, including various effects, a simple "wand" to select any area that is entirely the same color, a simple RGB color chooser, and a draw-box select. But above all, it's as simple-to-use and user-friendly program as I've ever seen. Maybe a Photoshop user might not love it so much, but suffocating on Microsoft Paint as I have been, Paint.NET is a breath of fresh air.
Cons: Um... it doesn't come with a free mint when you download it? Considering that this is a free program, I can see nothing wrong with it. In a perfect world, Microsoft Paint would utterly cease to exist, and all computers would come with this program.
