meanwhile, wordpad.. probably used by more people over the age of seven than paint is, getting axed.

microsoft has office subs to sell, but they do not have a photoshop or gimp or even a paint.net alternative to sell.

They created WordPad because of antitrust issues and never changed it. Try opening a Word document created by a recent version, it's pretty useless today.

Notepad rules though, it even got UTF8 support recently-ish! /s
