Because Bill Gates wrote MacPaint. When Windows was in development, he likely wrote MSPaint, or at-least got a developer to make it similar.
- stiff 13y agoWhat? The very wikipedia page you're quoting says: The original MacPaint was developed by Bill Atkinson, a member of Apple's original Macintosh development team.
