Microsoft announced today that it will deprecate WordPad with a future Windows update as it's no longer under active development, though the company did not specify the precise timing of this change.
I think I read an article no long ago, I can’t seem to find it. But it was a rumor along the lines that the CEO wants to make Microsoft’s main product Azure Web, and that’s why Windows is getting less dev attention. Windows 11 wasn’t even supposed to happen. It was a salvage operation from the pieces of what was 10X, which was intended to be a last attempt to do something innovative with mobile devices, and Sun Valley which was supposed to be its own thing, an UI update over W10. They gambled on dual screens but since that didn’t pan out, sure Windows 11, whatever.
That’s a silly rumour. Microsoft might not care about Windows as much as it did before, but it still powers a lot of other Microsoft businesses like XBox and different B2B solutions, which are very important.
