    Its quite usefull, but to be honest, not completely nescessary. I think microsoft was a bit bored and decided to make it for no particular reason. Everything it is for can be done with microsoft word.

    No Vista here.

    Top ones I can think of are:

    *******************

    1) Several custom programs that I wrote
    2) Firefox
    3) Netscape
    4) FoxPro
    5) Fetch
    6) Wordpad
    7) Simpletext
    8) Photoshop

    *******************

    Seldom use any other program.

    Order is a guess though.
