a small something that s been bothering me

Just about every other OS actually makes an image when Print Screen is used - why has this functionality not been used in Windows to date? Could it possibly be suggested? It's timeconsuming to open Paint and save the image there when Windows could pop up a small application to do that for me. (It's worth taking note of the actions taken by the GNOME and KDE desktop environments for Linux.)

A suggestion like this was made some time ago, I'll make sure they follow up.
