Why doesn’t MS do what Apple does with Writing Tools. Put it Rewrite at the OS level so that anything with text can access the feature? Doing this an app at a time is odd.
Because Windows doesn’t support OS-wide text formatting/manipulation like macOS does.
The system already existed in macOS so it was easy enough to plug writing tools into it, but to do the same in Windows would mean completely rewriting how Windows handles text display and editing (and no doubt causing an avalanche of compatibility issues with old apps).
Microsoft is in conflict with itself if web apps, modern native apps, or classic native apps are the future. That’s why even different Microsoft applications feel as or even more disconnected from each other than using KDE applications under Gnome.
No! Fucj you! I should have known the minute Microsoft started making you log in to use notepad windows was dead but this is unacceptable, note pad has exactly one purpose, to be as simple as possible. If I want Ai I will use any of a thousand other programs but keep my notepad sacred!

Maybe windows should just fully embrace containers for as much backwards compatibility as possible.

Looks like MS still has the culture of don’t-make-more-work-for-the-boss.
Notepad++ and never look back.
Crying in Linux 😢
You will use vim and like it. 40 lashes if you have to look up what the hot keys are

Just use nano or vim
just use geany or something else…u can customize it to be as useful as notepad++

You can get it to work under linux, via Play on linux for example. It won’t be exactly integrated experience, but it works.

Microsoft remains convinced we want clippy everywhere regardless of how many times we have rejected these solutions!
But still no AI in the calculator. Why is that Microsoft?
I predicted you wanted to multiply your answer by 1.2x. No need to thank me!!
