It turns out that Windows standard wordpad `` is trying to appeal quietly '' Microsoft Office



Wordpad , a standard Windows word processing software, can handle most document files and has all the functions, so many people would say, 'If you have this, you don't need Office Word .' It turns out that the latest version of WordPad 'may have features that appeal to Microsoft Office products.'

The appeal of Office products with WordPad is like this. At the bottom of the ribbon is a banner ad saying 'Try free Word online'.



Engineer Rafael Rivera discovered that WordPad was highlighting Office products. While testing the new features of WordPad, Rivera discovered that WordPad had six additional banner ads.




Wordpad banner ads were displayed on Windows 10 with the first ring build of Windows Insider Program Build 19546 released on January 16, 2020, and are not visible to ordinary Windows users.

However, if Mr. Rivera uses a tool called Mach2 published on GitHub, it is possible for users who are not registered with Windows Insider to be able to see banner ads with WordPad.

`` This ad added to Windows 10's WordPad and email / calendar apps requires Microsoft to make money using free apps that come standard with the OS, '' said MSPoweruser, a Microsoft- focused news site. It shows that we are under pressure. '
