My personal opinion is that windows taught us to install external software in a very large scale because of its inbuilt internet explorer.

For some people, WordPad is sufficient, but for others, we need advanced text editing functionality, so there comes OpenOffice and other faster and better text editing software.
This war for creating software with much better functionality than the ones integrated into windows will never end, and we will keep getting new versions of software for windows!
