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:
http://petr.lastovicka.sweb.cz/indexEN.html where other nice stuff
can also be found.

There is more nice stuff on his Chzek language page.
