Man fuck Microsoft. Killing a free app and replacing it with a paid app that has a subscription bundled.
What the actual fuck!!?

It's word pad though, do you really ever use it? I use notepad for a quick temp fix in a pinch, I haven't used word pad in like 15 years.
-
Regularly
-
Wow really? What for? I've seriously never heard of or seen somebody use it.

When I need to copy something from instructions out of a doc file, so much faster to open copy and close before word even opens
-
Oh yeah I'm not saying use word. Notepad++ or the native sticky notes are both good alternatives for WordPad.
-
Fair point, I do use n++ a lot

You... have heard of Microsoft before now, yes?

I'll be editing PDFs with standard Mac software that comes with the OS while Windows charges a fee to edit text files.

Yeah but you need to install an app from the apple store if you want to tile your windows on your screen, or turn off mouse scroll acceleration. There's a lot of stuff each has which is missing from the other.
