Microsoft is killing WordPad in Windows after 28 years

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
N.B. Notepad3 (originally Flo's notepad2) is a great drop-in replacement for notepad.exe (and even has an install option to do exactly that, so everything opens with it even if other programs call it). I install it on every Win system I have to manage. Not as big as Notepad++, but has syntax highlighting, line numbers and supports LF file endings.
EDIT: Disappointingly no screenshots on either site >:| It looks similar to vanilla notepad.exe
Notepad has supported LF for at least 7-8 years
