OS Calculators: your PC calculator in the real world
Does your desk real estate also include room for a calculator in this modern age, or do you just rely on your computer for computations? If the designer behind the OS Calculator ever brings this concept into reality, you could have both. OS Calculators are the same simple programs you know and love, faithfully recreated — even down to the drop-down menus on the Windows version. Those, uh, probably don't work, though.
There's also one for Mac fans, as seen down below.

I find no use whatsoever for my OS calculator; it barely does anything useful at all. TI-89 Titanium and Wolfram Mathematica all the way.

Yea i agree, even google or bing is better, got more functions and easier to use

Umm, guys? The OS X calculator turns into both a programming calculator, and scientific... I believe the XP one does too, but I can't confirm that.

i'd totally buy it... but only if it had functional minimizing / expanding buttons...

There's no sense in being elitist about the tiny OS calculator--it's not to be a better solution than say, Mathematica. It's usefulness is in it's wide availability and ability to be pulled up with zero wait time. Pressing winkey+R, typing in calc, and hitting enter can only take a second and it's available no matter whose computer I'm working on.

That's pretty cool. Would buy the Mac one in heartbeat

The calculator that comes with Gnome (standard with Ubuntu) is pretty good - has Basic, Advanced, Financial, Scientific, and Programming modes.
