Hanson's rationale was that "the brand is the hero" and people wouldn't automatically associate "Multi-Tool" with Microsoft. On the suggestion of Rowland Hanson, Microsoft dropped the Multi-Tool brand name. The Multi-Tool product line began with expert systems for the Multiplan spreadsheet. Initial sales were modest because it had no use other than running the programs included in the box (a tutorial, a practice app, and Multi-Tool Notepad.) Most visitors had never heard of a computer mouse before. Also appearing at that COMDEX was the Multi-Tool Word, a word processor that Charles Simonyi was developing and supported the mouse. In May 1983, at the COMDEX computer expo in Atlanta, Microsoft introduced the Multi-Tool Notepad, a mouse-based text editor Richard Brodie had created, along with the $195 Microsoft Mouse.
First released in 1983 to commercialize the computer mouse in MS-DOS, Notepad has been part of every version of Windows ever since. Windows Notepad is a simple text editor for Windows it creates and edits plain text documents. IA-32, x86-64, and ARM (historically Itanium, DEC Alpha, MIPS, and PowerPC)
