Microsoft celebrates 25 years of Solitaire with a contest

Η Microsoft μπορεί να ετοιμάζεται να φορτώσει νέα παιχνίδια τα (like the Candy Crush Saga) but it does not forget its roots. The company is preparing to celebrate 25 years of Solitaire on Windows with a .Microsoft Solitaire

After an internal competition among Microsoft employees, the audience will be able to compete against the tournament winners for its 25 anniversary Microsoft Solitaire.

1989 Wes Cherry developed the Microsoft Solitaire game, which first appeared on Windows 3.0. The game became gold at 22 May of 1990.

Although the game was partly intended to entertain Windows users, it had another purpose.

It helped beginners with the emerging technology to get acquainted with the use of computers, learning how the mouse works and yet features that seem simple to us today, but then it was unprecedented.

So novice users could learn the "drag and drop" but also the path they could find the game with their mouse.

The game has evolved over the years, but it has also disappeared from Windows. Those who wish to take part in the tournament will not be able to if they do so from their Windows PC, but only from their phone, if of course it's a Windows Phone.

For those who are disappointed, patience until the official release of Windows 10.

As you understand the news does not concern the majority, but it is another good trick that serves the strategy of the company that wants 2 to 3 headlines daily in the mass media, as you may have noticed the last .
