It's not even that they have a product you pay extra for, so it's not
like, "We'll bundle this crap Wordpad, then everyone will have to buy
the latest Office suite".

They will keep improving Wordpad, its quite a bit better
than it used to be and many don't need Office anymore.

I'm not sure I would go that far.

I have a few forms etc on a memory stick in .rtf format so I can be
sure of being able to print them out on customers machines that often
have nothing better than Wordpad.
