I get it. MS has a “free” rich text editor, it’s Word online. You can easily install any other simple rich text editor (is abiword still a thing?) on Windows. Wordpad probably has minimal usage.

abiword's basically a dead project for windows and macos. the linux version i think saw an update a couple years ago.. but i can't get to the site (abisource.com) now at all to check.
