thread_title:  That "Win" Animation 

message: MobyGames lists this game as being "Microsoft Solitaire". Should we move the article to reflect this? SharkD 20:00, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you go into Help > About Solitaire, it'll show the name as "Microsoft (R) Solitaire." If you ask me, I think "Microsoft Solitaire" is more appropriate and sounds better than "Solitaire (Windows)." - 69.224.41.98 (talk) 22:30, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Do we have a source for Windows Solitaire being developed by Oberon Games? Their site only seems to mention their own "Dream Vacation Solitaire" product. I don't have Windows Solitaire, so can't check this. --McGeddon (talk) 10:30, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This looks like BS to me and an attempt to hijack commercial traffic, since the link takes you to an online store. Unless someone has a very convincing source that the Solitaire included with Windows was made by Oberon, it should not be added to the article. Ham Pastrami (talk) 06:12, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Is it me, or does Windows 7's Solitaire use smaller hitboxes for the cards? Seems like you have to click and drag a lot more precisely -- if the card being dragged doesn't almost perfectly overlap the "target", then the drag fails when you release the mouse button. 12.185.202.2 (talk) 19:24, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hitbox 

message: The article mentions that the original deck was designed by Susan Kare, and it also implies that the original, Windows 3.0 version of the game only had one deck design (presumably Kare's). What was it? Is it still included with modern versions of the game? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 19:50, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know, or are there mathematicians out there among you who can calculate, the percentage of winnable games there are, within the given rules? I have gotten to be pretty good at the game (although not particularly fast), but I know that there are certain card combinations which can be dealt out which are absolutely unwinnable.

replies: text: Thanks. I know that it's been 2½ years, but I have not been monitoring this article. I used to play Windows Solitaire a lot, but have not done so much since I moved to an Apple iMac. Mamarazzi (talk) 15:47, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Jimmy Fallon video link is dead. 

message: I removed the statement
Neither of the cited references directly supports the claim that Microsoft collects personal information and uses it to personalize the ads in Solitaire.  The RPS source mentions both ads in Solitaire and personalization of ads, but doesn't actually connect them.  The Guardian source is a bit closer: the subheadline states "From personalised ads in Solitaire to an address book-reading personal assistant, some users are unhappy with Windows 10’s approach to privacy", and another paragraph in the article states
Again, it's a close decision, but I'd like to see a better source than a passing reference in a subheadline and juxtaposed sentences on personalized ads and ads in Solitaire that don't actually directly state that ads in Solitaire are personalized.
