Vista Calculator

Believe it or not: still with­out a square root but­ton in sci­en­tific mode.

I’ve also been told that the native Win­dows color palette still doesn’t save cus­tom colors.

More Microsoft Cal­cu­la­tor trivia, care of Wikipedia:

The ver­sion of Cal­cu­la­tor shipped with Win­dows 3.0 and Win­dows 3.1 suf­fered from a bug caus­ing it to dis­play com­pletely wrong results for cer­tain classes of cal­cu­la­tions. The most typ­i­cal exam­ple was the 1–1.1 oper­a­tion, which would lead to a long num­ber sequence approx­i­mat­ing the expected result, –0.1, such as –0.095645564564564.… One of the most joked about cal­cu­la­tion is 3.11–3.1, results in 0.00. This leads to the joke “Q: What is the dif­fer­ence between 3.11 and 3.1? A: Noth­ing!” (In this case, “3.11″ and “3.1″ imply the ver­sion num­bers of Windows.)

Oh, num­bered Win­dows ver­sions. Reminds me of those old PC Mag­a­zine issues I had with exclu­sive first looks at “Win­dows 4.0.”
