Q10: Writeroom for Windows, better than Darkroom

Q10 is a great alternative to Writeroom, on Windows. It lets you write in a clean, distraction-free environment, and it counts your words and stuff. It is very customizable and easy to use. It is much nicer than Darkroom, another similar program. Here is a screenshot:

If you click through the screenshot, you will see a great little bottom bar that shows you your document statistics. The only thing Darkroom does better is that it allows for window translucency, which can be helpful if you are using a resource and don't want to have to keep switching windows.

The best part about Q10 is that when you type, it makes typewriter sounds! It even has the classic "carriage-return" sound that we all know and love. It is a completely free download, and is very worth it. I am now using it as a draft editor for my writing.
