I don't think so.
My in laws are very technologically illiterate. I bet they have never opened word pad except accidentally... but I guarantee they know what "Word" is and think "word pad" is just some nerdy tech person word for the software they know.
I bet the number of people who both rely on word pad and who don't know about any other free alternatives is so very low.
