Yeah, there's a printer called "Microsoft Print to PDF" now, which works in pretty much everything (even something as crappy as notepad).

Notepad is probably the only program that I wouldn't call crappy in windows. I think it follows the unix philosophy of doing only one thing and doing it right. I'm not a windows user but it's been useful.

No, Notepad does one thing but it doesn't do it right. Can't open large files without locking up. Still saves UTF-8 files with a BOM. It can't deal with unix-style newlines.
