calc.exe is now open source; there's surprising depth in its ancient code
Microsoft's embrace and adoption of open source software has continued with the surprising decision to publish the code for Windows Calculator and release it on GitHub under the permissive MIT license.
The repository shows Calculator's surprisingly long history. Although it is in some regards one of the most modern Windows applications—it's an early adopter of Fluent Design and has been used to showcase a number of design elements—core parts of the codebase date all the way back to 1995.

> So even the calculator collects telemetry data that it snitches back to Microsoft?
sure. After the pentium division fiasco each result of a division is sent back to a microsoft server farm, to be confirmed by an outsourced chinese worker (they don't trust microprocessors anymore).
Proof, China got an influx of capital and became a superpower right after the pentium FDIV bug.
