Chris Pirillo points us to a freely downloadable calculator from Microsoft that is head and shoulders beyond the default Windows calculator in terms of features. Of course, as with most downloads from Microsoft these days, this one requires Windows Genuine Advantage certification. If that makes you nervous, steer clear, but if you're looking for a new calculator application that gives you conversions including currency exchange conversions (it can even download exchange rates), give this one a try.Microsoft Calculator Plus 2

4. Where is the U.S. dollar for the currency conversion? The premise of the tool is good, the implementation is awful - at least as far as currency conversion goes.

1. Is this for real???
Does Microsoft realise how long it is since Europe has used the Dutch Gilder, The Austrian Schilling, The Italian Lire...need I go on...
Wakey Wakey Microsoft!! We've been using the Euro in Europe for a long time now.
What a complete waste of effort, not to mention this thing is copyright 2004.
Thanks for nothing!
