This farewell wasn’t the only headline in Insider’s latest build, but it probably garnered the most attention. Although WordPad has not been actively developed in recent years, it has gained an emotional place for many people by offering an alternative to Notepad.
But not all the news is bleak. Reliable Notepad gets some liking in this build, with its advanced accessibility features for voice control and the ability to pause and resume typing. There’s also a new notification that the computer is in power-saving mode, as well as the ability to give devices more descriptive names for easier sharing.
While it’s bittersweet to say goodbye to familiar faces like WordPad, it’s a reminder that software is evolving. For those who still long for a simple text editor with a nostalgic touch, there are always third-party solutions.
