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.
It actually does make sense. Besides the whole “getting WordPad users to buy Office” thing, there’s also the fact that they won’t have to continue updating WordPad. It’s one less thing to worry about for security and compatibility on their end. The user might not benefit from its removal, but Microsoft does.
Just pointing out that it’s not just for the sake of changing things.
