I can confirm it’s not. One cool feature Windows does have is Windows sandbox, which lets you instantly start a blank Windows VM with no persistence. I was playing around with it yesterday and discovered it doesn’t include notepad in the guest OS!
Recently revived my old gaming PC, decided to put Bazzite on it. Was a bit surprised to see that sudoedit had a menubar and everything, used to it being vim or something. Got even more surprised when I found out it was made by fucking Microsoft. Yuck.
I’m pretty sure notepad.exe is actually below the kernel. Its load bearing.

I’ll bet the hypervisor for that VM is notepad based /j
still kinda pissed they got rid of edit.com after win7…
They brought it back (well, a modern version) in Win 11.
It’s available for Linux too!

is notepad.exe still around? I was sure they had replaced it with a new Microsoft Store app with copilot and ads.
Yes, but they made it dumber.
yes, and i think you can open it with win+r notepad
Notepad++ is in my opinion. It just should be at the side in mid air supporting a big lever under cmd
