FrontPage, MovieMaker, and VirtualPC I've used before. I think I've seen the Math and the NetMeeting before, the screens look familiar, but haven't heard of the others.
And of course WordPad, I miss that. Their description is extremely accurate "This word processor was the perfect bridge between Notepad and Microsoft Word." I think I used WordPad more than the others, it was so smooth and simple for just enough formatting.

I loved FrontPage. I currently have Expression Web 4 installed on my system. No longer available from Microsoft but thankfully I still have the installation file...somewhere...I just don't know where at the moment. LOL
FrontPage was a perfect, simple little WYSIWYG web editor. Once in a while if you switched to code view and made some changes it would completely mess up the editor view, but aside from that, it was delightful. It was great for learning HTML coding too - being able to switch between the two easily and even see them both in split pane view (although that could be dangerous too).

I used SyncToy to back up my files to an external hard drive. Now I use SyncFolder. What do y'all use?
I didn't know WordPad was discontinued as it still works on my machines.
I now use FreeFileSync to keep a weekly backup of 4 folders from my PC on a USB drive. It does everything I need and it runs on the folders as a batch.

I was able to create our first website using FrontPage in 1996. It certainly made it possible to easily get onto the web. I was also a MapPoint user. It was the easiest way to map customers in an Access database. I missed this one the most when it was discontinued.
