They did the same thing with the calculator, turning what is probably the simplest app on the entire computer into a Metro-ified flat-design-meme store-dependent mess for absolutely no benefit.
I've taken to firing up an instance of IDLE instead - which is actually a little nicer in the end
Or this is a good opportunity to use tools not built into the OS or write own replacements. It's a bit silly to have calc program dictated by the OS version.
Genuinely curious, why?
What is the processor support issue?
It's sad, because by themselves programs like Paint and Calculator are simple. But, when done well, they come together to improve the quality of life while using Windows.
If any knows any other good simple programs for bitwise operations and binary conversion then I'm all ears.
