  Pros

  It's light on resources, just unzip and place it where you like. I suggest startup folder.

  Cons

  Is not a systray replacement clock. Calculator more simplistic than Windows' Calc.

  Summary

  This opens a window on your desktop that is not resizable. The default font size truncates the date at the bottom, and when the font size is adjusted, it adjusts both the time and the date, rendering the date unreadable. The 6-month view comes up if you click in the right place on the window, otherwise, nothing. The tape calculator appears to be buggy, as it only executes one operation at a time (you can't add two numbers and then perform another operation on the result). That being said, if you don't have the need for a real virtual tape calculator on your desktop, it can be adjusted to be presentable, and the 6-month calendar is a boon. You could even set the background transparent and tweak the text transparency so it is suitable for the "always on top" option. I use Alwact clock, for which I easily designed a custom Matrix skin to match my desktop (you only need a simple graphics editor) from the skins already available. for a calendar I use Arlo Rose' calendar widget for Yahoo!, formerly Konfabulator, which can be adjusted to your taste in a myriad of ways. Yes, I still use Windows and Google sidebars, and Konfabulator, all of which work great on Win 7. I downloaded tons of gadgets and widgets just after these three idiot companies terminated support. There is nothing available that can replace these handy tools on my desktop. I will be adding them to Win 8, if possible.
