PowerCalc (a Microsoft PowerToy for Windows)
PowerCalc is a good simple calculator. Today, it’s one of my favorite standard classic Windows programs (free download). It’s easy, fast, low-overhead (low footprint), and basic.
powercalc.exe easily beats calc.exe, since you can type equations as a line of text with history. Also does variables, functions, graphing, binary/hex, scientific functions, conversions… powercalc.exe is missing some basic things like factorial, but it’s at least great for just simple + – / * (and a little more).
As of today, I’ve only seen a Windows XP 32-bit version. However, I run PowerCalc on Windows Vista x64 (in fact, it’s one of my taskbar Quick Launch icons). All you have to do is install the powercalc.exe on a Windows XP machine, then copy the powercalc.exe file over to your Windows Vista machine (if you copy it to %windir%\system32, then you can access it quickly with WinKey+R for Run, then type powercalc, then EnterKey).
