Early builds of Windows 7 have extended document support in WordPad, the word-processing applet in Windows.

I was sceptical about this since the support is not in the Milestone 3 build given to journalists here; but the builds running on stands in the Pavilion area do have this support, so it is real. I&#8217;m guessing that it is based on the the OpenDocument support coming in Office 14. Of course, this is pre-beta, so subject to change.<\/p>\n<div id=\"scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:49a4a080-7d34-476d-a265-113087cc02e6\" class=\"wlWriterSmartContent\" style=\"padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 0px\">Technorati tags: <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/ooxml\">ooxml<\/a>, <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/opendocument\">opendocument<\/a>, <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/wordpad\">wordpad<\/a>, <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/windows%207\">windows 7<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interesting twist in the document format wars.
