I wonder what changes they've made to wordpad over the last 10 years... how many people have been working on it and stuff.
This sort of implies that Notepad is still under active development. That's weird to think about.
Notepad is, in fact, under active development. They recently upgraded find and replace so it works 90% of the time instead of 30% and added some annoying restore session by default feature. not to mention tabs
I interviewed at Microsoft decades ago and found a bug in notepad during my interview when they gave me a laptop and asked me how I would test notepad.
Their faces indicated that this was not supposed to be a productive exercise.
did you get the job?
