  Wow... For perspective, gnome-calculator[1] is 648KB and works fine with 17281580835365214242. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Calculator https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Calculator

  just checked on Win7: calc.exe is 897KB

    Windows 10: C:\Winows\System32\calc.exe 32,0 KB (32.768 bytes)

      Not having Win10, I just took parent's word for it. I wonder what he was talking about.

  Where do you get this number? In the store (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps/windows-calculator/9wzdncrfhvn5#app-details https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps/windows-calculato... ) it says "Approximate size 3.07 MB - 5.79 MB", on my installation it says "368 KB" in the settings app and all "%ProgramFiles%\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsCalculator*" directories are about 5 megabytes together. RAM usage exceeds 47 megabytes with about 5 or 6 calculator windows open.

    Yes, I meant ram usage. Specifically Working Set jumping above 46MB at the start of calc, and Private bytes hovering around 30MB, all for small one window app.

  It makes one wonder, 47MB of what? I don't have Win10 so can't easily find out, but for comparison I do happen to have an old version of Mathematica which is command-line only, and it's a little over 7MB (considered huge at the time - it needed 6 floppies!) I doubt the Win10 calculator has anywhere near the functionality of Mathematica. XP's calc.exe, which doesn't have all the annoying bugs mentioned in the article, is 112KB.

    Probably he was talking about RAM, not disk space.
