Pros
Easy install, great functionality, very convenient, great location (taskbar), quick calculations on the numeric keypad.
Cons
Not for x64 based systems
Summary
Smart idea, Great app
Pros
Great idea!
Installs/uninstalls easily.
Cons
Wish it would echo back the "operator" characters
Wish it had more functionality, for example ()'s, powers, etc. Would have been/would be easy to include.
Wish it would allow left-arrow & edit of the input string (but maybe that's too much wishing)
Summary
I have the regular Windows Calc on a speed key, quickly available. Not worth having this also installed. Removed it.
Pros
I absolutely love this simple little calculator for keeping a running total. I work on my computer as a typist, and have to keep track of the number of words I type. This little calculator is perfect! You just use your keypad~
Cons
I suppose it might not be very good for long, complicated equations, but that's not what I needed anyway!
Pros
See bottom-line summary
Cons

Summary
Well I was looking for a complex scientific calc and stumbled across this. It's a great idea to put it in the Taskbar.
Pros:
- extremely convenient location to a calculator!
Cons:
- The default calculator window size (in Vista, anyways) only allows 5 digits to be displayed. A configurable default size (or font size) would be ideal
- I wish it had a hotkey that would jump straight to the calculator
- I wish it used some of the same hotkeys as Windows Calc (ie. r = 1/x)
- It needs a memory store/recall function!
Pros
It is Free.
Cons
It takes a while to understand how to actually use the calculator. I was looking for a calculator with numbers not a bunch of symbols that I mostly did not understand.I am sure if I was looking for complex math it would work but for just adding and subtracting the Minicalulator was better. Then someone told me how to get my windows desktop calulator back so I do not need either.
Pros
I like that it stays a\on your taskbar. That way you don't have to hunt for your calculator in your accessories.
Pros
Works great! I love it. I often have to calculate something and this is a real nice short-cut to reaching for the calculator or opening Excel.
Cons
No Cons. But, maybe future versions could have more calcuation options. Not a complaint, just a suggestions.
Cons
pointless product with no value. reason? because the PC allows you to take the calculator progam already installed with windows & you can put in on the taskbar as an icon, then whenever you need it just click the icon once. also, the windows XP calculator also has the ability to perform scientific math calculations if you hit "view" & then "scientific"--this makes the built-in one better all the way around.
Pros
Good idea... right in the taskbar. Very convenient and unobtrusive.
Cons
Does not calculate with precision. I made some calculations and noticed it made errors because it does not calculate with many decimals, yielding incorrect results, especialy when converting or calculating back and forth between different units.

Have you try to change Windows numeric settings ? The calculator use the decimal settings to round the calc and if you have only 2 decimal it round the result to taht approximation.
