Why does anyone need windows' built-in word processors Word Pad and Notepad?

Some people have no other way to read docs, word, works and wordperfect are optional (though they are usually given in some form with new computers). Also, many programs include read me's and other statements which they need to be read by all computers, legal disclamers, notes, aggreements and such. If they were written in a program you did not have, they would be that much more difficult to open.

I use Notepad all the time. I use it to copy from one area to another so i can make up documents, for online use it makes small readable documents that i can send out for help files when helping people, and also to fix problems in my .sys and .ini files that can be crutial to other programs or to the system in general. It is a very helpful tool for when you can not read a file in any of the other programs such as word or works.
