Minor Correction: Office 2003. And I'm disappointed there's no spell check with red underline in WordPad. Maybe Windows 7 Service Pack 1.

Yes, OneNote was developed in the Office 2003 timeframe. RichEdit 4.0 was developed for Office 2002. Thanks for the correction (which I have made to the post). Spell checking involves dictionaries and I guess these only come with more elaborate applications. But good point too.

"requested reasonable extensions" meaning what? The management deliberately keeps WordPad crippled (no spell check) to ensure Word sales? Or is that for compatibility? WordPad needs to be like Microsoft WORKS Word Processor and Word as the full-fledged editor in Office.

Well, MS could do with WordPad what Outlook Express did--enable spell-checking if a dictionary is installed, e.g. by Office. Doesn't the free Windows Live Mail, by the way, include a spell checker? (...so why not WordPad?)
