    "WordPad is no longer being updated and will be removed in a future release of Windows. We recommend Microsoft Word for rich text documents like .doc and .rtf and Windows Notepad for plain text documents like .txt."
    I don't know how I feel about this. I mean this program has been a staple with Windows for almost 30 years.

    There are better free options out there now though so it isn't like people need it but still. RIP.

    A lot of people do. More and more are switching to Linux though. Apple is a better option than Windows at this point but too dang overpriced imo. Having Windows is like just inviting the feds to have dinner with you.
    Yeah most people are casuals, if you have any interesting in IT you'd be better using linux.

    Just general knowledge of privacy really. Windows is the worst when it comes to that. They legit backdoor your system and sell all your information. They should not be as trusted as they are. Neither should Bill Gates. That old white fart is up to something.
