Remember when Notepad was just… Notepad? A simple text editor nobody asked to be modernized?
Yeah, Microsoft didn’t care either. They bolted on Markdown support and AI features anyway. And now we’ve got CVE-2026-20841. Remote code execution. Via a text file. This is the kind of thing that makes you go “oh come on, really?”
Yes but I bet the young developers at Microslop have never used notepad or wordpad or even windows 95, so they think the best apps are made in electron with JavaScript, or in dotnet.
