Paint.Net 3.0 Released, And Other Stuff

Paint.Net 3.0 was released a couple of days ago, snag it while it's hot.  It's good enough (for a non-professional designer) that I haven't found the need to install Photoshop on my rebuilt machine.  In fact, I'm 100% Adobe free, meaning my machine is free of:

1. Photoshop,
2. Reader (replaced by Foxit), and
3. Flash.

I consider both Flash and Reader annoying enough at this point to be considered malware.  I'm also Quicktime free, which in my opinion is about half a notch above Real Player in terms of A) actual usefulness and B) annoyance factor (perpetual nag screen anyone?).  I am not looking for an alternative replacement for QT; will just ignore .mov files going forward.

I'm hoping that WPF/e will finally be the competition Adobe has needed in the Flash arena.
