At one point, Microsoft was maintaining three different word processors.

  • Word, the top of the line component of the flagship Office product
  • Works, their "for home and small business" product that was honestly good enough for basically everyone, to the point you have to ask why anyone would buy Office, which is almost certainly why Works got canned, and
  • Wordpad, because a GUI OS is basically useless without a rich text editor.

Where does Microsoft Write enter the equation?

[–] HolidayGreed@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

If my memory serves, Write supported full text justification, but Wordpad only supported left, center and right justification. So any easy win for Write imo.

Let me Wikipedia that for you...It was rolled into Wordpad circa Windows 95, and that write.exe is present in newer versions of Windows but it's basically just a link to Wordpad.

According to Wikipedia, MS Write uses .wri files, which can be opened by LibreOffice 5.1 and later but not by any Microsoft software from Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later.
