Microsoft is killing WordPad in Windows after 28 years::Microsoft announced today that it will deprecate WordPad with a future Windows update as it’s no longer under active development, though the company did not specify the precise timing of this change.
I used WordPad back in the Windows 95 days, then never again.
As long as Notepad doesn’t go away though, I’m good. I use that all the time.
Notepad++ is a great upgrade to notepad, especially if you are a programmer. It allows regex expressions, language markup, and much much more.
