    Many of you may have noticed, and gotten the new Windows Threshold 2 upgrade, but did you notice Microsoft gave us the old Win 7 games back like Solitaire, Chess, Free Cell, Hearts, ect...

    It could have been the result of a carry over from a previous version of Windows?? I have no clue at the moment but it would be nice to find out what's going on.

    Hmmm... maybe it is a carry over as I had that Windows 7 games package installed on my system. I guess the "new" next to the games fooled me. BTW did you guys upgrade yet?

    Thanks, and sorry *Redface

    Oh.. that explains it. I did a clean install of 10586 so I wouldn't have the games package.

    Thanks for clearing that up.

    The Games on the Apps menu on my Home version install when clicked upon and showed as Windows 8. Mahjong isn't present and the Games Explorer is empty.

    No secret that they are available on the 'net, just need a current link.

    The rules prevent us from being publically linking them. It also seems Microsoft had a hissy fit about that as well.

    Sorry.

    And there are some really good game apps that make up for the loss of those Win7 games, IMO..

    YMMV
