Windows 7 goodies: programmer's calculator

Having had the time to test Windows 7 lately, there are many interesting things to note. Many blogs are already full of information about interesting features, and that's good. However, I haven't seen much talk about the less-used accessory applications like Calculator. But, Calculator in Windows 7 is getting very good for us developers: it now contains a programmer's mode.

In this mode, you can instantly see your values (let them be bytes, words, dwords or qwords) in binary, and also easily shift bits and perform bitwise operations such as AND and XOR.

Very good indeed!
