Anybody else noticed how Microsoft has dumbed-down Freecell on Vista ??
Just ripped off 500 wins in a row with no losses.
Wonder why mr. softie did this ??

I don't have a "wow" that is "wow" enough to describe the kind of amazed I am at the bored you must be to have played 500 straight games of Freecell. I hope Mrs. nadB occassionally waters you and turns you to the sun, .
It must be the same with all the Windows games.
I'm a 4 suit Spider Solitare player and I'm at a 17% win rate there. On the XP machine it was more like 5%.
I've played FreeCell off-and-on for years on a number of different Windows O/S's. After developing/refining my tactics, I could score a 97%-99% win rate consistently on XP. What they did with Vista was to expand the Undo feature, so I guess you never have to lose ??
I think it sucks, so I won't be playing FreeCell any more. I was kinda tired of it anyhow. :icon_wink:
(Oh, and A/G, I didn't do the 500 wins in a row in one "sitting" )
What are the odds of playing 500 games without hitting a bomb on the first click?
I haven't played at all on Vista but the only thing that ever stopped me using XP and prior Windows was bombs in the corners that I hit on the first click. Don't they put bombs in the corners now?
Try Spider solitare. On Easy, you should win every game without really trying.
On medium, you should win at least 75% of them.
On hard, if you can win 20% of the games, then you're the TOP DAWG.
Dude, you have got to be kidding ??
Had some spare time last Sunday afternoon, so I had a go at it.
Played around a while to try to get the hang of it (advanced setting), and then reset the game counter to zero. Won five games in a row; no losses. Got 2 suits down on game 6, but had to leave; so I shut it down and booked a loss, even though I'd have prob eventually won that one, too.
Realized I didn't have any proof (didn't bother to take pics), so a while ago I had it deal game 7 so I could take pics with my phone camera. Went ahead and played it out and won game 7.
Best I remem, that put me at 85% wins, counting the "forfeit" game # 6.
I never bothered with spider solitaire before, but this is just too dang easy.
I call Spider Solitaire a P.O.S.
