STOP UPDATING NOTEPAD

  • TEXT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN UNORDERED LISTS
  • YEARS OF DEFAULT APP yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND FOR BASIC FORMATTING OPTIONS
  • Wanted to format anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: it was called “WORDPAD”
  • “Yes please give me LINKS in my file. Please give me HEADERS.” - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged

LOOK at what Microsoft has been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the programming language & technology we built for them (This is REAL Notepad, made by REAL Microsoft):

????? ?????? ?????????????????

“Hello I would like TABLES in a future update” They have played us for absolute fools

@coolboymew You can reinstall it by copying the files over from an older version/update of Windows. I do think it's not getting updates anymore though.

@neopolitan I mean you can probably still run WinMine from win 3.1

Progman is dead though

@coolboymew I get why it's dead, it's not like you can't just use basic Word for free now if you want.

Back in the day, Wordpad covered that usecase because you either paid for Word or didn't have it.

@neopolitan I’d be more concerned about copilot and the profile icon.

@coolboymew Isn't that just Office365(Copilot)? Or are the actual office programs installed by default now?

@coolboymew @neopolitan
Office 365 (new) for home and student (Copilot) - EN

Office is typical bloatware installed by 3rd parties, not part of the iso.
