Not only that, but also the unnecessary removal of features that some people actually use and might even like..

"internet explorer" -listed as the first one. -Linux fans love their out-dated tech.

Why did they remove WordPad? That just doesn't make any sense to me.

Not used enough to justify the support cost

[–] over_clox 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What's to support? It's WordPad, it's pretty self-explanatory, and even if someone has a question, there's the help file.

And I can't see any reason for them to need to update it or anything, seems like it was fairly well polished for a simple word processor.

Support from the development side of things. Every feature Windows pack has a cost attached to it. Microsoft tends to prioritize features that are used by most users and prune the others to cut costs down.

Nah, they decided to prioritize a subscription to Microsoft 365/Word over a basically free simplified alternative that (used to) come with Windows.

It's all about the $$$. They'll take features away from you, and you'll like it!
