Are you suggesting that MS include a better graphics program with the OS? MS Paint might not be the best end-all graphics program, but as soon as MS incorporates Paint.NET (or similarly full-featured product) with the OS, they'll be sued to unbundle it (and rightly so).
Isn't it better that the MS included programs have minimal features at best? It is great to be able to read MS Word docs on the OS without having to buy / download anything, but I don't want someone to choose which programs I use.
The more that's bundled in the OS, the more people will use what they are given (just look at IE) instead of finding a better alternative.
