HD Tutorial: Windows 7 Calculator

2009-08-14
hey what's up guys it's Marcus Brownlee here from mkbhd and welcome to another HD tutorial and which I plan on giving you a little walkthrough of the windows 7 calculator and this is now actually available for people it's been available but this is available for people who are using Windows Vista 32-bit and 64-bit so you can use this on two platforms Windows Vista and Windows 7 but I really like the windows 7 calculator so I figured I'd show this to you guys and this you know the link in the description which I'll provide is right here it's going to give you guys a little description of it and I'm actually going to show you guys the calculator itself since I have it downloaded and installed I click on the shortcut and I'm just going to compare this to the built-in Windows Vista calculator so I have them both pulled up right here on the left as you can see here is the windows 7 calculator and on the right is the windows vista calculator and number one first thing you'll notice is that it's a lot it's a little different color and it's going to look a lot sleeker when you change between modes so here's the cool thing about the windows 7 calculator there are modes you just go ahead and hit that mode button it's automatically in standard and you can use these keyboard shortcuts to switch to scientific to programmer and to statistics mode and watch the animation as it switches so just does this quick little animation and it looks a lot smoother obviously when you're not screen recording but there is there are several modes of this calculator now the window is just a calculator there's really not that much to look at you can copy and paste values and you can view in two different modes standard and scientific and it actually opens what looks like a new window when you go back to standard in scientific so that's a little bit different than the windows 7 calculator and then there's a Help button you know in both calculators you can choose about calculator and go to you know further help and support topics but when I you know when you're when you're going through operations in the Windows 7 calculator there's also a history so if I go 9 x 9 all right 8 divided by 6 6/8 you can see up top there's a history of the three operations I just did and I can go up and up and go back to those operations which is not available in the built-in Windows Vista calculator so this is going to be built into Windows 7 which is really cool I really can't wait to install the full version of Windows 7 on this laptop but I really like the fact that there is history and that there is smooth transition between the modes of the calculator and it just has an overall cool look to it so if you guys are you know interested in downloading and installing and actually using this calculator you can go ahead and throw a shortcut in your dock like I did and that is basically it guys so um thanks for watching this little short little H tutorial if you need any help with installing and just go ahead and leave a comment message and that is basically it so uh thanks for watching enjoy the windows 7 calculator and I'll catch you guys in the next video peace
