It combines the power and natural simplicity that is characteristic of Microsoft's products. Notepad is also ideal for preparing web pages - Microsoft Internet Explorer uses Notepad to view page sources. And the most fantastic news is that Microsoft allows you to use Notepad absolutely for free!

However, due to numerous user requests from around the world, Microsoft corporation has begun developing versions of Notepad for Unix, Macintosh, and OS/2 systems! Copyright Micro$oft However, not everyone is happy with Notepad's triumphant march across the planet. For example, Corel corporation, which is trying to compete with Notepad by offering its clunky WordPerfect program, recently filed a lawsuit against Microsoft. Instead of honestly competing and improving their product, they accused Notepad creators of violating antitrust laws. They claim that Notepad is so integrated into the Windows system that it cannot be uninstalled without affecting the overall functionality of the system. Additionally, the plaintiff demands the removal of Notepad from the MS Windows package, as it allegedly deprives users of the choice between products from other companies. Of course, all of this is blatant lies and slander! Copyright Micro$oft Shortly before the official release of Windows 98, Microsoft corporation held a grand presentation of the new version of Notepad. The innovations in Notepad 98 are truly revolutionary: - More convenient file handling - The new default file is now called "Untitled" instead of "Unnamed". - Customizable font settings - Finally! Now you can change the default font that Notepad uses to display text. - Improved help system - Notepad's help system is now in the new popular HTML-Help format. It has become even easier to answer the numerous questions that users may have while working with Notepad. Copyright Micro$oft As mentioned before, Notepad is a very powerful editor with many amazing features that are not found in any other software from other companies! See for yourself: - Can handle any file! - The file size limit is 64(!) kilobytes(!!!). In modern computer systems, files of larger size are almost non-existent. - Implements Cooperative Multitasking - The number of simultaneously open files is 1 (one). Do not get distracted by minor details to the detriment of the main task! - Super user-friendly interface - No toolbars or "hotkeys" for common commands like "File-Open" and "File-Save". The status bar - such luxury is also not provided. Everything is for the user's benefit! - Comfortable text editing - Insert the current date with a single button click. However, the less needed "Replace" function is not included. - Fast file opening - Using the "Open" window, you can open a file for editing in just 4 to 50 mouse clicks. There is no list of recently opened files. - Notepad - the perfect program! - There is almost no possibility to customize the user interface.
