Comment on Microsoft retires WordPad after 28 years — app no longer available as of Windows 11 24H2
luciferofastora@lemmy.zip 1 month agoI suppose you could install Word. If you want just Word, you can jump through a few hoops to make the Office Deployment Tool install only Word.
I don’t think that is a reasonable solution for your use case, but I suspect making people use (and buy) the actual Office Suite is the motivation.
Installing Word, on a server, running as administrator, forecefully linked to some MS account for activation… Is that really a reasonable solution in a Microsoft world? Smh.
If documentation comes as Word document there is no documentation and a huge red flag for the software.
I don’t think that’s a reasonable solution
Is that really a reasonable solution?
No. Of course not. My comment was tongue in cheek.
Wasn’t really aimed at you but from the things I’ve seen I am afraid not all Windows administrators might realize that.
