Yes, but you don't know what Microsoft was talking about.

Click the UP arrow on the calculator display. It will change log10 to ln, 10^x to e^x, etc.
EDIT: Arggh! beaten by Richard!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Thanks very much. This is terrible UI design. Maybe some enjoy this type of thing. Ugh!

Also, has anyone noticed that you CANNOT resize the calc window from the top?
That's a cool new behavior of the new Windows UI too, isn't it?
More user punishment.
Here's the insider view of the MS devs at work.
Dev 1: Can you imagine when the user (giggle, snort) attempts to resize from the top of the window and he cannot get a resize arrow (giggle, giggle)?
Dev 2: That is so funny. Hahaha, s/he'll be chasing the top edge around like a lunatic.

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

They paid Google to do that.
See Anrdoid Studio.

The best thing about is: You can't calculate anything with decimals if you're in programmer mode... You have to switch to another mode for that.
I prefer one mode for all purposes instead of being forced to switch to different modes. Whoever thought this was a grand idea needs to be slapped as well.

That problem has existed in all versions of Calculator as far back as I can remember.

It was a possible with the Windows XP calculator at least. I don't remember if it got removed with Windows Vista/7 or later. I thought it was still possible with Windows 7 though, but I might be wrong here.

Nope. I'm on 7 and just tried. No decimals in Programmer mode, which is kind of WTF

Agree 100%.
But that would be too good.

Like F87AB.A7 or 01100111001.11?

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Not for Hex or Binary input. But at least I didn't have to switch to another mode just for calculating something with decimals

I have been calculating the timing values for machine code routines recently and ran into that problem.

The problem seems to be between the desk chair and the keyboard.
I had no trouble finding it

Yes, Sander. You are a Genius of a whole other magnitude, because you could find this.
Does that affirm you for today?
See you tomorrow.

That's really interesting that where you live, that you live in tomorrow.
Here where I live, we are always forced to live in today.
No wonder you are such an amazing person, coder, writer. It's because you live in the future.

Didn't you see it said, "Touch Friendly"? That means "Function Light". Duh!
You just made me revisit the Calculator on my Windows 7 system... it's a great calculator!

Who cares? Google ln(2)[^] (for example)
