When was that ever the case? It's not even the most basic editor on Windows, which would be Edit.

Edit has not shipped with Windows since Win9x -- which is to say, it hasn't shipped since Windows required DOS -- and what you linked is an homage project, not the same program.
And you know what else was included in versions of MS-DOS that shipped with Win9x? Edlin. The editor so basic most people can't figure out how to use it.
Edit, what I linked, is shipping with Windows right now. This HN thread is about the current version of Windows. We are not talking about Windows XP.
