You obviously didn’t read the article, but that’s OK it’s a trash article anyway. Which is already indicated by the headline, since Notepad was never free, it’s just included with Windows.

Since what you are supposed to pay for is new AI features. Otherwise you can use Notepad as usual.

Full access to notepad? So what, I need to pay to toggle text wrapping and the about menu? It’s fucking notepad.
