Ask HN: Windows Notepad Replacement?

Recently I've taken to keeping basic task lists in outline format using Notepad in Vista. It works great for just spewing info into it but I need just a little bit more for it to be perfect.

I'm looking for the most basic editor that exists that allows timestamping, bold/italic/underlined text, bullet lists, and strikethrough text. This is a rare moment as well where I would prefer a desktop app over a web app as I want the quickest working solution possible.

This isn't for coding, I use Intype for that. Also, notepad++ has way too many options/is too programmer centric. I just need it for taking down notes and task lists.

Anyone know of anything that fits the bill?
