UPDATE: The developer has removed the application. We'll post an update as soon as he puts it back to download.
As you know Windows 7 contains a revamped Wordpad which features Ribbon UI. It makes the simple wordpad a bit special and also adds new functionality to this basic application.
Recently we blogged about "Notepad 2008" which was developed by our friend "Solo-Dev" aka "Villain". It was removed later because some people uploaded it on their own servers without providing any credit to the original developer.
Now he has updated the application with a new name "Wordpad 2009" which is available for download at following link:
Its a portable application. Download the ZIP file, extract it and run the EXE file.
The UI and features have been updated and now it completely looks like Windows 7 wordpad:

Remember that its an RC1 version and there will be lots of updates in future which we'll continue to share with you all.
PS: If you face any problem while running it, then make sure you have installed Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.

^^ The developer has removed the app thats why the link is not working atm. And yes, this app is very similar to Windows 7 wordpad.

I believe that this link still works, and I think it's 2009:

I used your calc.exe which worked just fine, but then I replace the original one and it says Windows Calculator has stopped working. But now your calc.exe stopped working. How do I solve the problem?
