Notepad is used as a log viewer. When you're presented a
machine you don't run, you usually don't have time to setup
your preferred work environment, notepad comes in handy to just
view the log and diagnose an error.
My workaround in such cases is to use Write, which is also
installed by default and handles the files correctly.
I think Notepad still uses the same code from Windows 3.x days! :)
