Notepad’s spellcheck and autocorrect are rolling out to everybody after 41 years - eviltoast

It’s still bare-bones by most standards, but Notepad has evolved a lot recently.

        Oh I agree but. Why wait on Microsoft to make something better when an alternative is exceptionally better.

          Because I have to do a mountain of paperwork to get an admin to authorize a software installation on my work computer, so having better tools baked into the OS is a huge win.

          Why not encourage microsoft to get their shit together? Office software seems to be the only thing they are actually good at.

          These are the types of features we need to encourage. Who cares if its 20 years late, I’d rather they focus on notepad than “AI” and breaking local accounts.
