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

    I guess it’s to direct more people to Microsoft 365 and Word. I hope that in reality more people will start to use LibreOffice and others.

      I’ve used windows since dos and have never once used wordpad in my entire life.
      For basic text, notepad is just fine. For anything fancy, wordpad isn’t good enough.
      I feel that it doesn’t have a place anywhere. It’s like the bizarre paint 3D they’ve recently discontinued.

      My office had a period where we used LibreOffice and others because of some licensing dispute with Microsoft. However that period of peace ended when we migrated to 365.
