it'd been great if it had worked for xp.

Considering that XP is basically 2K, and it works fine under 2K, I don't know why it wouldn't work under XP.

Media Player Classic

For people like me who can't stand any version of Windows Media Player after 6.4. Looks almost exactly like it, but plays the newer codecs that WMP6.4 can't, plus Quicktime and Real files (if you have the codecs installed).

Possibly useful factoid: If you save a document with the .WRI extension, Windows will open it with WordPad instead of Word. This is handier than remapping .RTF from Word to WordPad.

Well said!

Notepad sucks, wordpad is better IMO...

Notepad: Bare minimum functionality. I at least like some options.
Wordpad: At least a few usefull options but no memory hog at all.
Word: Memory hog and just too many useless functions.

Bolding, Italics and fancy fonts are nothing but useless fluff designed to detract from the text contained therein.

And WordPad sucks for anything other than text-writting as if you copy-paste from some other app, it keeps the font for the text you've pasted. So you end up with 40 different fonts throughout the document.

It also has all kinds of useless junk like line-break characters and crappy character formatting that needs to be removed if you're using it for coding.

NotePad does what it's meant to, it writes in all fonts, sizes and languages without any extra frills. It's like a nice, strudy AK-47 compared to some fancy laser-guided American piece of **** that explodes if you fire it in wet weather.

NotePad > WordPad.

Or to accentuate (sp?) certain parts of the text.

Is it so hard to press Ctrl+a and change fonts? No.

Never had a problem with that. Did Java, even some minor C++ stuff in it.

Well, thats your opinion but I still think Notepad is too bare to actually write a text thats comprehensible.

NotePad > WordPad.

Your choice...

Metapad > Notepad

Opera Web browser: Just for when I want to surf the net.
Winamp 2.91: Best media player I've ever used.
AceHTML: One of the best HTML/php/lotsa-other-stuff text editor I've used
Blender 2.23 and 2.28c: The two best versions of Blender I've ever used.
Trillian: I like it because it can IM with all (?) major IM's. That way I don't have 4 open wasting resources.
FS_OPEN: Do I have to say it?
Irfanview: The best batch conversion software I've used.
Descent manager tools/FS tools: Again, Do I have to say it?

it depends on what you are going to do. for taking notes/writing flat textfiles, I'd go with notepad or some other similar program. for word processing, I'd use word or frame maker or some other word processor. for comparing two completely different things, I'd use you.
