What good is a computer without some games to waste time with? What better game to waste time with than Solitaire? Well, Vista has Solitaire, and it’s improved from previous versions. Nice graphics, sounds, and even animation, the effects will make you feel like you’re really there, with yourself, playing cards.

As you can see from my game above, they still haven’t fixed it so you can win every time, but there is a cheat. If you’d prefer to draw just one card from the deck, instead of the default of three, the Realtime-Vista blog suggests you press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT while clicking the deck for a new card. I also tried their other suggestion, ALT+SHIFT+2, which is supposed to automatically win the game, but found that it doesn’t work. Must have been a ‘bug’ that was fixed in the RTM version.
