Is it just me, or does it feel like Microsoft is throwing everything good and nostalgic back into Windows 10? It seems like all of the major complaints are being handled well and Microsoft is padding its account with good will to make the transition to Windows 10 feel like you are going home again. Case in point is the addition of one of Windows’ favorite games, Solitaire.

It’s a similar decision to the return of the Start Menu, bringing back features Windows users are familiar with. Only Solitaire is back as a built-in app so far, and that may even change by the time Windows 10 ships in the summer.

Too bad it has to be Klondike ... although that is the most popular form of solitaire it is also one of the easier ones ... they should include 40 Thieves (the form of solitaire that Napoleon played during his exile on Elba), it is difficult and fun ... or Mahjong ... or if they really want to throw a bone to pop culture these days they could include Sudoku :)
 
Lets hope that Windows 10 can be made to feel like Windows 7 and that we can hide most / all of those silly gay ass tablet squares
 
They "removed it" but had a solitaire app that gave you multiple versions. So it was still there in windows 8.x
 
The thing is though that to get it in the store in 8.1 you had to log in with your Microsoft account, which then became your windows log in.

Fine, fine, except that I really COULD NOT BE STUFFED ENTERING MY LONG ARSED MS ACCOUNT PASSWORD every time I logged into windows. :( I'm the only one that uses this computer and I'd much rather use my single character log in password under my windows account.

Can't they just port the windows 7 games and just be damn done with it?

You can port the win7 versions of games too, go down to just over half way on this page and it tells you how:
