OMG why does this get repeated constantly. Microsoft released the source code to Windows Calculator, a Windows Store App. They did not release the source code to the venerable calc.exe
- Kipters 7y agoThe math engine is the same, just the UI layer is different
- airstrike 7y agoI think the software referenced in the article is the only calculator you get on Windows 10, and the binary is named calc.exe so you're technically correct and incorrect at the same time
- ntauthority 7y agoNo, it's named something more like "Calculator.exe", but calc.exe is a stub that will just activate the UWP app if present so that people and software can still invoke calc.exe. The old calculator was briefly shipped as a separate component called "win32calc.exe" in 10-based versions without apps, and that's what the calc.exe stub defers to in those cases.
- bexsella 7y agoIt's not important, but you're definitely wrong here.
