Microsoft shouldn't have killed Wordpad. Imagine if they updated it instead with docx compatibility.

[–] potemkinhr@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

See people wouldn't need to install Word if the builtin wordpad opened Word documents. They can upsell it to you and use your data

I’m having flashbacks to Word 6 for Mac, when everyone downgraded back to Word 5.1.

Looks like you got unsaved changes....

Save as...Untitled.docx.....Very Complex Naming Convention that my company came up with.docx save!

OK what's the name of the file? Here's a random location could you rename the file once more and tell us where to save it in one drive?

Libre does this as well.

Only if you have installed MS Office, it was one of the first thing which I deleted, among with other MS Bloatware and services "to improve the user experience". A clean Windows is a difference like day and night with the defauly one, in speed, stability and RAM usage. The specs of my modded Windows11 24H2 (Acer laptop)

I remember when I was tasked with fixing up a personal/work PC of my colleague who was our lead artist. I was a bit shocked to see WinXP there, when win10 was already the norm, and with quite a bunch of severely outdated software on it. At the time, I thought "well, at least it does the job well enough for him to be still employed". Now I understand that he was probably onto something...

Again: switch to Linux already, use Libre Office or if you have to, google docs. Heck, install onlyoffice if you want it self hosted online, anything but Microsoft
