If you love the new ribbon UI available in Microsoft Office and other MS products, you'll definitely love this small but excellent Notepad for Windows.
"SalvoG92" @ DA has developed a cool Notepad "FluentNotepad" for Windows which comes with Office 2010 look-like ribbon UI.
It supports all basic Notepad functions and also allows you to minimize ribbons and put Quick Access toolbar below the ribbons similar to Office applications.
Its a wonderful work IMO. Its also portable so you don't need to install it. Simply extract the ZIP file and run the EXE file to launch it.
You can download it using following link:
You must install .NET Framework 4.0 to be able to run the app.

The best thing about Notepad that it loads very fast, using this with a better GUI will take more time to load.
@simplePrashant
Will it show transparency in xp either?
