I (just) started playing one of the solitaire games the other day.
Lots of advertising pushing online gambling. Having explicitly chosen a
non-gambling lifestyle, I removed the app today. What's an operating
system seller colluding with the likes of
online gambling for...geeze? Yes, I know I could have paid to have
the ads removed, but it still seems wrong. End of rant. IMO, Shame on
MS; they lost a few "morality points" here, as far as I'm concerned, and
to my mind, this calls into question the morality or ethics built into
their other software. They don't give a damn about their users?
("harmless
fun"-ha!)

In addition to the Windows games i also have XM Solitaire, a suite of over
200 games.

You can find XM solitaire here, at Sourceforge:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xmsol/ it does run on Win-10, in
spite of the slightly misleading wording in the previous sentence.

MajorGeeks also has a download for it if for some reason Sourceforge
bugs you: https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/det...solitaire.html .
That site suggests that it runs under WinXP to Win-ten.


And here is the website for some alternatives to it:

Open source & the author has answered questions.

The Author being reachable at his home page (English version) at:

can also be found.

There is more nice stuff on his Chzek language page.

Sorry, I forgot the link.

It happens. Actualy *lots* of things happen, some of them good.

Nice write up & amendment. Thanks.

It's cool. Someone was going to add the little linkies, this time it
was me but it could have just as easily been you. [shrug]. If the
Multiverse Theory were correct [which it ain't] in some other places
it *was* you. Lots of times.

We all have a role, mine is so minuscule even the flapping of a
butterfly's antenna swamps it.

Thanks for mentioning XM-Sol. I've downloaded a copy for the wife.
