What replaced Word Perfect?

I believe it was Windows 95 I used to write stories on using Word Perfect.
What has replaced it or the equivalent on W7/Vista?

WordPerfect is still alive. I still use it. However, although there are other competing word processing applications, including free versions like in Open Office and Libre Office, MS Word is the overwhelming "favorite" used practically universally, at least in the USA.

I used to write a departmental newsletter and I cut my word processing teeth on WordPerfect and that was even before it went to WYSIWYG.

Ok, I saw Word Pad on here (W7) last night & became curious. Thank you.

WordPad is a very basic word processor that has been included with Windows since Windows 95.

Ok, I'll give all three a shot to see which I like best, thank you.
