The idea that we'll be viewing readme.txt files into 2010 with nothing but no-frills Notepad is unconscionable. I just read that Windows Vista will ship with a virtually unchanged version of Notepad, ten years later. Notepad was minimalist by Windows 95 standards.
The really unfortunate thing about Notepad is that- at the risk of stating the obvious- it sucks. Which means on any particular computer you happen to use, the odds of double-clicking a text file and getting Notepad are about. There might be a dozen better third-party alternatives, but that requires manual intervention and special customization.
The applets that ship in the box with the operating system are, like it or not, the defaults. Even though it's crappy, we know it's on every Windows box we touch. I'll jump to the defense of trusty old calc.exe. In response to My Giant Calculator, Joost commented:
