Notepad getting spellcheck and autocorrect

Windows Notepad is getting spellcheck and autocorrect

With the introduction of the Windows 11 version 11.2402.18.0 update, Notepad will have a spellcheck and an autocorrect feature.

Microsoft is making Notepad increasingly similar to Apple’s TextEdit, which is bundled with MacOS and its own WordPad app.

would have been better like notepad ++ but I suppose better than nothing,

So autocorrect can now interfere with your code snippets, marvelous!

With the way they’re sacking people you should be happy just to have a job.

Not really. If you're half good at what you do there's 100 other employers queuing up to hire you

I had a co worker years ago that used emacs as his IDE on Windows. I cried. Unrelated to this, he was also a fan of Richard Stallman.

Great. More data send to MS.

So basically Wordpad is back?

When working on Windows, I only use notepad for one thing, to clear formats and links quick from text. But mainly NP++ for me.
