@alternativeto Everyone keeps saying 'after 28 years', but wordpad is essentially a continuation of 'MS Write' (it even sits as write.exe these days), which has been a staple of windows since v1.0 in 1985 I'm not going to panic too much though, because it's not like MS are reaching into my win10 and removing it, if they remove it it'll be from win12 onwards, and I'll probably switch to 100% linux desktop before using win12 @alternativeto Since working full time Ive wondered why Wordpad existed, it solved nothing. guess MS did the same.
