You are not? Then how do you get out of bed every morning and get the confidence to do whatever needs to be done?

Of course not.

Confidence and arrogance are not the same thing.

Exactly as I thought. You are a good sheep and would never want the herd to think anything else. God forbid!

At least you know that, so there is still some hope for you. The next step could be to tell them apart. But be careful: The herd may see you as a black sheep once you do and may, lacking any arguments, try to shame you back into the herd. They might even accuse you of arrogance, just for having the audacity to do your own thing.

Either you're trolling or you are stupidly narrow minded. I vote trolling.
Good day.

Said the troll himself. Just accusations and a little shaming. Good day to you too, Mr. CEO, and come back when you have some arguments.

Go for it.
Did one ages ago due to lack of bits when converting to Bin from Hex or Dec.
Later calculators supported larger numbers.
Wasn't that arduous and didn't take up too much time from memory.
Then again my memory isn't like it used to be.
But the best thing with using your own calculator is if you require a new function, you can just add it.
Perfect.

Exactly. I always wanted a return on investment at a certain interest rate over so many years button. I have done it in Excel, obviously, but I want a calculator button for it! 
...and how many calculators have spell check, eh?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

You spelled the number 9 incorrectly.

So were my first several OSes. Nevertheless, I agree with the sentiment in this thread that the calculator that shipped with Windows XP may be the best looking calculator. In contrast, the one that shipped with Windows 10 looks like a first grader drew the wireframe and the developer slavishly followed it. While I understand the objective of making it better suited to a touch interface, IMO, it should be sufficiently smart to figure out that my machine has no touch controls, and render a more compact window. As it is, the touch-aware calculator occupies more than its fair share of screen real estate. In spite of all its new modes, I still use only the original three (Basic, Scientific, and Programmer), and am annoyed from time to time that it lacks a critical fourth, Financial. Thankfully, I can coax what I need from Excel, but why must I load a full-fledged productivity application to perform a simple calculation, such as, e. g., compute the interest on a mortgage?

I think this applies to everything about the W10 GUI. It is horrible. If I wanted to use a table I that's what I would do. I think they should go back to the W7 UI or even XP. At least have those options as themes we could select. Everything is parameterized enough that they should be able to provide that capability.

Agreed. And, they could easily switch the flatness on if they determine the OS is running on a pad/phone h/w anyways.

Well, I use "Microsoft Calculator Plus", and am happy with that one.
The built-in win10 one is sh*t.

To each his own; I like the Win10 calculator.

No. Not allowed. 
Interesting, really. Maybe more people feel that way than I would expect?

I agree, I like the Win 10 version more

So many people who proclaim "ugly", "horrible", ... But not a single word to describe what it is that makes it ugly or horrible.
If those ugly, horrible designs where to be stepwise modified into a good-looking design, I'd be very curious to see the justitification for each modification step. Not just that "it looks nicer if you do it so-and-so", but why doing so-and-so is nicer.
"That is just sooooo 2018!" is of no real help to make good-looking designs for 2020. The reason people made it that way for 2018 is that they honestly thought it was a good-looking design. And they were not wrong: In 2018 it was a good design.

Easy UWP application.
Speaking of horrible do any of you use the UWP versions of Solitaire or Spider Solitaire?

I hate the new design with that broad expanse of white space -- what on earth is wrong with having keys be clearly delimited visually?
