Earlier today when I was doing a WPF demo in Colombo for Microsoft DevDay 2007 I wanted
to show the new Solitaire and other games rendering smooth UI in Vista. But
I didn't find any of the games in my demo laptop. The last I have used the games in
Vista was when Vista was in Beta and in Vista Ultimate edition. On further investigation
and looking into other Vista installations (Windows Vista Enterprise x64, Vista Business
x86) I realized that games are not installed by default in these editions - obviously
why do you want them in a business edition of the OS?. The good news is that
you can go Programs and Features applet in Control Panel, and install the games. Immediately
upon installation, I played and won a game with Solitaire. Hip hip hooray!!!
