You mean like Wordpad or Paint?
- halo 18y ago>You mean like Notepad (or the other one in accessories, I forgot its name) or Paint? Well, no, because Wordpad, Notepad and Paint aren't really comparable to iPhoto or Pages and their commercial ilk, as the parent made clear.
- froo 18y agoPaint I'd partly agree with, but regarding Wordpad I guess that really depends on your interpretation. Wordpad and the Word Processor component of Google Docs are comparable in features and lots of people laud Google's offering as good enough, so where's the difference? Microsoft already has it ingrained in people to pay for their Office product, even though they give away a good enough offering (in comparison to Google's Docs). Why should they give away Word?

- windsurfer 18y agoAre you really defending WordPad? WordPad doesn't have a spell checker.
- froo 18y agoI'm not defending Wordpad whatsoever. He suggested that MS would cop flak from the EU if they included those products in their OS, which they already do. Just because they're not as good as other offerings on the market is irrelevant. The fact is they're there, and MS doesn't cop flak over it - which is partly why I think the EU decisions up to date have been pretty pathetic. Disclaimer: I don't work for Microsoft, nor do I currently use their products (Linux user).
