Over at Build 2018, Microsoft announced it has rejigged Windows Notepad so it can now cope with the line endings used in Unix, Linux and macOS, and thus will correctly display text files created on those platforms.

This change is now live in the current Windows 10 preview build, and it’s obviously good news for the likes of developers who work with those files on Windows PCs, albeit that it’s something of a long overdue change for the venerable Notepad application.
