I'm using Cortana from off-planet, and every time I ask travel-directions back to Earth, it tries to get me to talk about my feelings.

I've only used Cortana (on my phone) twice to set reminders to turn off the water in the swimming pool. I really should use it more for other timers/reminders, but I keep forgetting to set them!

I'm using Cortana fairly regularly. Mostly to remind me about stuff when I get to certain locations or to set timers and getting a quick weather info.
Have only used it once to send an sms to someone. It worked but the habit of typing has succeeded there.
The recognize music feature has failed me miserably so far. But oh well. No tears lost there.
So does that satisfy your curiosity?

I mostly meant Cortana on a desktop PC.
But I am glad we could identify you, single user of Cortana on the planet. We had been looking for you for months now.

I use the windows (7) calculator a lot to convert between hex and decimal and binary values, which is possible with one of the views of the windows calculator, but you once converted, you can only do integer operations in this programming view. For instance, if you convert 38 hex value to decimal, so 56, and wants to divide this one by 80 for any reason, it throws 0 instead of 0,7. You have to change the view to be able to perform the operation, which means copy and paste the previous result as the view change resets the calculator, and it drives me mad.

You could use the MS swap modes and then press then MR button, its a bit easier, maybe.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

It sometimes helps to simply write things down : I came across Calculator "Plus", which has not the restriction, and overwrote the calc.exe file.
Thanks for indirectly pointing me in the right direction

install the XP calculator. Its far better.
|
|

It's basically the "plus" version I've just installed, see my post above.
Indeed far better. Why did I wait that long before looking out for something better...
