I don't know about 10, but I use win 7's calculator daily for basic math and hex/Dec conversion.
I know people who CLAIM to use Notepad as their primary code editor, but I don't know if I believe them.
I use Wordpad frequently for short documents, especially letters and other stuff that gets printed, because it loads fast and is, well, good enough. And just today I used Paint to create a small image to test a production process! So I guess, yeah, I do.

I believe that was also the version that shipped on Netbooks to compete with free Linux.
