Sad but expected. Most people are using either office or one of the free alternatives by now.

I wonder if anyone thought about looking up WordPal in the Microsoft Store and think about maybe that could be what it evolved into.

Problem is, it's not installed by default

Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time... A long time.

Pfew ... I moved to Linux just in time!

Gnome has already been ruined by a similar failed desire for a clean and simple interface.

Yes, but on Linux I get to choose not to use Gnome

That was decades ago, though.

Gnome has only gotten better imo

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I hope it's still included on future Windows server versions. It's quite useful to open documentation or instructions included with some software.

No longer available and no longer integrated are not equivocal.
