Vista Heralds Bold New Era in Solitaire
Phil Boisenbottom at Ridiculopathy offers a glowing review of Microsoft’s new solitaire game:
With the launch of their newest solitaire engine, Vista, Microsoft hopes to bring the art of single player card games to a whole new level. Gone is the flat green background, replaced by a seductive green-to-dark-green gradient. The “play” and “quit” buttons are pleasantly shiny like beads of glass, softly inviting you to click them. Even the diamonds, hearts, spades, and clubs all have a sexy updated look. After poking around Vista for a few hours, it’s difficult to imagine stacking sequential cards of alternating suits with anything less.
Finally, someone who has his priorities straight.
Can I purchase a cd of solitaire games for the new vista windows program. I need it to have klondike and the pyramid solitaire on it.

I’d recommend taking a look at Pretty Good Solitaire, which is the largest (and by most accounts, best) solitaire collection, it’s compatible with Vista, and it’s available on CD-ROM.
