Windows Latest reports a software developer managed to get Windows 10 IoT Core running on the HP Prime Graphing Calculator. It's still a work in progress but it's definitely surprising to see Windows on a calculator. Overall not really useful, but still a pretty cool hack!

According to Ben, the calculator has been hacked to boot Windows 10 IoT Core, which doesn’t offer full Windows Shell experience but you can run Universal Windows Program (UWP) apps and background processes. Devices like Glas Thermostat and Raspberry Pi also use IoT Core.
