    And so the bloodline of windows write is extinguished

    This is kinda sad that if you want to do even basic word processing with Microsoft software, your only option now is an ongoing subscription to do so.

      …your only option now is an ongoing subscription to do so.

      You can also still buy the Office package without subscription. The latest release is from 2024 and 2021 before that. But of course its expensive for basic stuff.

          I’m fairly sure they want to, they keep trying to kill off the standalone version but always seem to keep giving it a reprieve.
