This pitch looks like it has everything it needs for review. In the meantime, we'll keep this idea open for discussion so the community has the chance to provide feedback. Check out our New Feedback Process for more info on the user-centered process we follow for new feature development.

We reviewed the pitch and would love to explore this idea further! The pitch is a great start, but there are still some open questions. I am moving this issue into planning to iron out some of those details and I created calculator-specs/multipleInstances to track progress. A human will follow up with some feedback on your pitch shortly. Keep in mind that not all ideas that make it into the planning phase are guaranteed to make it to release. For more information on next steps, check out our spec workflow.

There are a number of open questions we have with this one and some trade offs to consider against the current multi-window approach. I know @mcooley and @HowardWolosky have some thoughts here, so I will let them chime in.

@HowardWolosky and I talked offline about the tradeoffs involved here:
Benefits:
- Data protection. If there is a bug in the app that takes down an instance of the calculator, the other instances wouldn’t go down at the same time, losing the work that users had in their other instances. This isolation would have offered us some protection against a crash we introduced recently with always-on-top mode, if we hadn't caught that bug in time.
Drawbacks:
- Perf overhead of extra processes (for both calc.exe and the runtime broker). We'd need to measure to see what the actual impact is on memory usage and the time required to start up a secondary window.
- Sharing state between windows is harder. For example, let's say we chose to implement settings in the app, like theme selection. It’s a better experience if it changes all the windows at once, and that’s hard if they’re multiple processes.
- New concurrency issues introduced. For example, how do you make sure that a new request for the currency converter rates doesn’t get downloaded each time the user opens a new calc window?

I was not aware of this issue asking for multi-instancing when I was looking at prototyping this functionality, so I have not taken into account the discussion here around pros/cons, potential impact for future features, etc.
However, I did code it up because of other reasons, so if anyone wants to check out my prototype, provide feedback on the approach I've taken, point out where there might be dragons, use it as a template for brining the functionality into main, or simply use it for investigations into the topics identified in this thread (perf overhead, currency converter rate syncs, etc.) feel free to spelunk the following branch on my fork of Calculator: https://github.com/rkarman/calculator/tree/rkarman/multiinstancing
