Do you NOT understand that Windoze 10 is the BIGGEST piece of spyware ever invented???

Of course they are spying on everything you do, write, read, and everything else!

You should go over to Distrowatch, <URL:https://distrowatch.com/> choose one of the top 10 Distros, wipe out Mickey$oft everything, including any Mickey$oft keyboards and mice, and learn to use a REAL O/S!

This is a company that:

1) Cannot follow the basic rules of math we all learned in school, where Multiply, and Divide, have precedence over Add and Subtract! (Windows 10 calculator app) Have their programmers never seen the C Operator Table? https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/operator.7.html

2) Still needs to use TWO characters to separate lines of a text file, "\r\n" when most, including Linux and Mac, us a single char, "\n" See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline

3) Brought to the world, that wonderful application called, "Microsoft Bob"! ;^) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Bob

I'll stick to Linux, watch Windoze 11 become yet another Windoze ME! :^

How can the Windows "Standard" calculator really be "Standard" if it can't adhere to "Standard" math operator precedence. The same hold true for any calculator. There is nothing about "Scientific" that changes these simple standards.

Linux calculator programmers have no problem understanding this simple concept.

The Windows Standard Calculator cannot even adhere to standard math operator precedence! Try this:

3 + 3 * 3

Windows Calculator: 18 (Wrong!)
Linux Calculator: 12 (Correct!)

What else is new? They can't release any Windows updates without creating new bugs! Do you really want to trust Excel??? ;^)

I shouldn't have to install Docker on my local computer to run a simple linter on my code. Should be a native Linux app as all the other linters and other static analysis tools have been in the past. Unneeded complexity which coming from Mickey$oft does not surprise me at all!

Plus it does not seem to support C & C++!

Unacceptable.
