Microsoft's Power Calculator from their PowerToys is kinda neat.
Hey thanks! I used it for 5 minutes and got to love it ;) very neat indeed. unfortunately it doesn't draw 2 variables functions graphs =(
Good calculator for programmers?

the calc that comes with ubuntu suits me. its got leading zeros and digit grouping, and it can do much more that windows calc, such as square root without having to use the x^y button.
You don't need the x^y button to do square roots with Windows calc. You can also use Inv x^2
I use the Windows calculator and KCalc on Linux.
For more advanced math, I use wxMaxima and a good sheet of paper.

Python.
Really, run in interactive mode it makes one of the best and most flexible calculators out there.

I use the Windows calculator. The only time I ever need to use it is when I need to convert a decimal number to hex or hex to decimal.
Google will do as well: '0x10 in decimal' or '16 in hex'. Octal and binary work too. :)

yeah but doing a google search takes longer :P
Quote:yeah but doing a google search takes longer :PYou would be surprised. Quite often you always have a browser open, set to the Google search page.
The other reason I like Google is because I can convert between different units of measurement. It is very handy.
If there's something that the windows calculator won't do for me (rare occasions) then I use my Casio Graphics calculator, fx-9750G PLUS is the model name/number. Although it's not cheap, around 90USD, but damn useful for almost anything you want to do with math.
