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%.
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?
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" )
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.
