Comment on After 40 years of being free Microsoft has added a paywall to Notepad

People at Microsoft doesn’t understand what people use Notepad for.
If they wanted to add AI features, they should have added it to WordPad, and make it more modern.

Yeah but no one uses wordpad. They put it in notepad for the exact reason you’re saying: because people use it.

If they made it more useful, people would use it. Making support for modern formats, maybe even Markdown could have been added and it would already be 5x more useful.

If they made Wordpad generate Markdown instead of RTF (or as well as, but by default) then I’d consider using it. As it is, I already pay for a Jetbrains license, so I just use Fleet. Massive overkill for note-taking, but it’s there and it works.

They killed wordpad.

Can’t wait for them to remove Calculator, since you can ask AI to calculate stuff, you know.
