I’d say the change in Calculator from W7 to W8 was more than cosmetic. Never have I stared at my 27" 2.5k monitor so stupidly than when I first launched calculator on W8 and that thing blew up over the entire screen with no proper way to leave it on top of other windows.
I think that’s when it really had to be clear to everyone that MS has no idea how humans use computers.
I made an autohotkey script years ago that I just run at startup on my machines which lets me press a hotkey to set whatever current window I’m in as “Always On Top.” I forget that it isn’t a baked-in hotkey because it’s so useful.
