Jim,
Perhaps we card players should still get some credit for owning homes when we do and for being responsible renters when we are. Give us some credit for being PC purchasers, of using Microsoft's product, of purchasing the retail product when it's needed. Don't you think folks know by now who owns Windows?
Everyone knows you don't get to use the product if you don't click on I Accept. It's that simple, so who bothers reading the EULA anymore. Everyone should, then they would know that Microsoft can now lay claim to every Windows system that was upgraded to Windows 10. Microsoft will do to the system what they feel is necessary, whether we like it or not.
There are big differences in Solitaire players and your regular old game head. The game heads spend a lot, lot, lot more money than we card players spend. The game heads get catered to by Microsoft. We Solitaire players get advertisements. We Solitaire players have those game heads living in our garages and we get advertisements. :-)
What should be a slap in the face is no games with the Windows 10 free upgrade. Then comes the November fall "update" and then there is a game folder. Microsoft uninstalls the old Windows Solitaire and other games and substitutes games that have advertisements. Solitaire was not included with the new games, but I would bet there were millions of feed back forms to add Solitaire back to the operating system. Microsoft did what it did.
Card players get no respect....
