Notepad is just a barebones text editor. I doubt there were any substantial changes since Windows 95, other than ensuring it runs on a 32 and later 64 bit infrastructure, and the menu works with newer releases. That sounds like a 1h per quarter job at most.

Windows 11 notepad is wildly different than what we've known with good ol pre-11 notepad.

Ah, interesting. I'm still on 10.

11 sucks but notepad and explorer are pretty nice.
