Noticed as one engineer was frequently switching between WinDbg and Calc. Forget about using calc.exe during debugging or dump analysis sessions. Save your valuable time. Don’t multiprocess. Use ? and .formats commands:

0:000> ? 2 + 2
Evaluate expression: 4 = 00000004
0:000> .formats 4
Evaluate expression:
  Hex:     00000004
  Decimal: 4
  Octal:   00000000004
  Binary:  00000000 00000000 00000000 00000100
  Chars:   ....
  Time:    Thu Jan 01 00:00:04 1970
  Float:   low 5.60519e-045 high 0
  Double:  1.97626e-323


Now you can do your finance calculations in WinDbg too.

The WinDbg Way!
