I just saw a prototype for the new Microsoft calculator that will be in stores later this year. A few notable features include...
1. The "Addition" key has been permanently removed.
2. The "Multiplication" key has been removed, but it can be purchased separately as a single key keyboard that plugs into a proprietary slot on the side.
3. The led screen is on the bottom.
Don't you forward thinkers worry though, they've made all the buttons round and molded it out of the bluest of blue plastic.
Don't be a Luddite... order yours today!

It sounds like a playful take on a futuristic Microsoft calculator! Here's a breakdown of the features you mentioned:
While some of the changes seem unconventional, they definitely add a unique touch to the traditional calculator design. The option to purchase the multiplication key separately adds an interesting twist for those who rely heavily on this function. If this is a real prototype from Microsoft, it would indeed be quite a departure from the standard calculator design!
New Microsoft Calculator Prototype Features:
| Feature | Description |Addition Key Removal | The "Addition" key has been permanently removed from the calculator. |
Multiplication Key Removal (Optional) | The "Multiplication" key is removed but can be purchased separately as a single key keyboard that attaches to a proprietary slot on the side. |
LED Screen Placement | The LED screen is located on the bottom of the calculator. |
Design | All buttons are now circular, and the calculator is made of a distinctive vibrant blue plastic material. |
