Hi there,
I trust Windows 7 RC 7100 (Release Candidate) is installed on your PC now.
Heard a rumor that version RC 7200 would be coming through at some stage…not sure how true though. Will wait on the mothership to drop that payload.
So hey, Clinton here again with some more juicy, very juicy thoughts in the Windows 7 world.
Man, there is a lot of exciting things going on in this product. And it’s only a few months to go before we get to see boxed editions on the shelves. Nice!
So today, I was looking at some newly modified applications we ALL use day-in and day-out. And this one caught my eye…
This application has been around for millennia – It’s the Calculator. Windows 7 has introduced a completely revamped Calculator > run Calc.exe.
It arrives with 4 FRUITY flavoured built-in modes:
· Standard
· Scientific
· Programmer
· Statistics
The best feature of this calculator is the Template functions. These I reckon, are the best features I have ever seen integrated in a basic standard application. Simplicity at its best!
Things such as:
· Unit conversion
· gas mileage,
· Wage calculations
· Mortgage and lease repayments
The days template does it for me … so X number of days minus etc etc…no more quick calculations in an Excel spreadsheet with a dates formula.
Go on, be nostalgic! Head back to your favorite Maths class at school and retry a trigonometric calculation on the calc…Or, if that was a bad experience for you, then perhaps change your Windows 7 themes to a nice yellow sunny day – Now stay in that Happy Place…
In addition, if you don’t have Windows 7 installed, what are you waiting for?
GO NOW and download the 32bit or 64bit version (for Dual Core CPU’s).
Go to: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/download.aspx
Have a great day! J
