Windows will no longer have an integrated basic rich-text-based word app.

    its pretty neat if you dont have access to word, which is likely why they want to get rid of it

      Doubtful. There are a myriad of free and FOSS options that are available right now to people of even limited technological skill. WordPad isn’t damaging their bottom line, but since it’s certainly not adding to it, there’s no point in maintaining it.

        Thing about wordpad at least for me is that its just there if you need to make quick document that doesnt have to be as specificially made as you need to use word, but still more nice looking than just using notepad. You also dont need word to read stuff made with it.

          Sure, though it’s not something that anyone is likely to switch OSes for.
