MS tools from the past

Microsoft Windows 7 still have some rudiments left from MS-DOS 5 and Windows 3.0. The console based ASCII editor edit and the graphical configuration file editor sysedit are still present and can be started with the run dialog. Observe the old style 3D checkbox and the 2D text edit in the sysedit screenshot.
It's fully understandable to include a console based editor but one can just speculate why sysedit still hangs around.
