    Aww, I remember using WordPad when I got my first computer at the age of 11. haven't used it in year! But it's nice, simple to use and it's a decent compromise if you haven't got (or don't want to use) Microsoft Word.

    Simple, in between Notepad and Word. Windows 7's version is much better though.
    Extremely useful to use for writing drafts for news articles.
