Microsoft is killing WordPad in Windows after 28 years::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.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I used WordPad back in the Windows 95 days, then never again.
As long as Notepad doesn’t go away though, I’m good. I use that all the time.
Wait, why was it still around to begin with?
Used it maybe a dozen times in the past 20 years.
Not a problem. Notepad works great as scrap paper. Notepad++ for everything else. I don’t think I’ve used wordpad in over a decade.
Good. I’m sick of dealing with lousy Windows admins using it and breaking files as a result. There are plenty of good and free word processors.
