Announcing the Open Sourcing of Windows Calculator
| Today, we’re excited to announce that we are open sourcing Windows Calculator on GitHub under the MIT License. This includes the source code, build system, unit tests, and product roadmap. |

I assume, this hint is more about collecting ideas and to tout Microsoft technologies. One of them calls "Azure Pipelines", not to confuse with "CMS Pipelines". In its completeness I hardly miss it on the PC. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMS_Pipelines
If it is about calculators, I prefere emulators of existing models which run the firmware of the original. For example V41 from http://www.hp41.org
Or some more here: https://hp.giesselink.com/ (Once even HP used those emulators to develop new models) For these you need to copy the firmware of the calculator you own.
Or a simple 4-banger that looks nice: http://www.stehlin.net/hpclub/Aristo/4-banger.zip
-- my first Windows program.

Thomas1965, I saw something about Open Sourcing of Windows Calculator a few days ago but as I didn't find the first(?) open sourcing like this useful, I think it was just a code dump, I paid little attention to this.
Your post gave just enough to pique my interest and go and read the announcement, thanks.

The Windows Calculator? I can't even get it to run on a Windows 10 machine, but anyone know of the trick where if you type in "1/255" and then click on F-E, the calc.exe crashes?
Guess we'll be able to figure out why that happens now.

my tricks with calculators ended with 5318008. :0)
I wish it was the 7 or 8 calc, the 10 calc sucks.
That must be a pretty old bug. I tried it on two different Windows 10 installations and it didn't happen on either.

Whoops my directions from memory were wrong. I just tried it on a Windows 7 machine, the steps are
1. Open calc.exe
2. Switch to Scientific
3. Enter 1, then [ / ], then 255, then press [ = ].
4. Finally, press [ F-E ].
Crashes for me, I think it might happen in Win10 too.

The "Trusted Microsoft Store app" calculator with the latest Windows build (version 1809, build 17763.348) works for me.
Calculator 10.1812.10048.0
