I don't know how I feel about this. I mean this program has been a staple with Windows for almost 30 years."WordPad is no longer being updated and will be removed in a future release of Windows.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."
There are better free options out there now though so it isn't like people need it but still. RIP.
