Am completely expecting this to be due to falling office sales or fear that people will realize they don't need expensive Office every few years when WordPad has 90% of functionality for daily use.
I expect this will make a lot of people very angry since I know many users of WordPad.
People still sleep on Excel. Nothing else touches it, and your finance department would riot if IT tried any of its "replacements."
