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 provide support for a Windows-only application that has to do automated document conversion. Some customers refuse to pay for an additional Office license and the only other option is WordPad. Going back to work on Tuesday is going to suck.

        I would love if we could use LibreOffice, but our application just doesn’t work with it and our devs won’t even look at it.

            Actually no, from what I understand. You can install it, just most businesses don’t allow it because they offer no support for it. There are other companies that partner with LibreOffice to offer enterprise solutions though.
