Windows will no longer have an integrated basic rich-text-based word app.

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

      I suppose you could install Word. If you want just Word, you can jump through a few hoops to make the Office Deployment Tool install only Word.

      I don’t think that is a reasonable solution for your use case, but I suspect making people use (and buy) the actual Office Suite is the motivation.

        Installing Word, on a server, running as administrator, forecefully linked to some MS account for activation… Is that really a reasonable solution in a Microsoft world? Smh.

        If documentation comes as Word document there is no documentation and a huge red flag for the software.

          Is that really a reasonable solution?

          No. Of course not. My comment was tongue in cheek.
