I agree. How difficult is it to get back to 7?
Hearts for Windows 10 - part 2
After reviewing all of the posts to my original message (shown below in italics) about the original Hearts game being deleted from Windows 10, please allow me to make some comments about the current abundant load of "trashy" Hearts games that Microsoft now offers for free and otherwise as "alternatives":
a) The new games are way, way too easy to figure out. I've played Hearts Deluxe some 86 times and have a 78% win rating. I have 48 moons in some 350 games. This is ridiculous. In the original game the most I ever achieved in 10+ years of playing was 68 to 70%. That was far more challenging.
b) The new "Free" games are NOT free. They have ads that are annoying and that take up a lot of screen "real estate".
c) The Paid game is worse than the free games as far a challenge goes.
d) The programmers of the games do not appear to have a lot of knowledge or abilities regarding the game strategies and nuances. They may be good programmers, but they are not "Hearts players".
e) The original game was clean, nicely thought out, well presented, had great graphics, and was fun as well as challenging.
It was not like playing "real" hearts against human opponents, but it still had enough nuances and tricks that made it interesting.
Why - I still ask - was it pulled? Where is the game now? Has it been discarded to some trash heap of technology forever? Has it been banned for life or to another planet? What did Microsoft do with it? Won't they even sell it?
Who is the "genius" that decided to pull the Hearts game from Windows?
This was one of the best features of windows when you needed to take a break from the information overloads.
WHY?
Was it taking up too much software space?
Was it bothering anyone?
Was it as social burden?
Come on guys - we know you were not making money on these type of features and your would rather reap huge rewards from vicious and bloody war and terror games, but not everyone is into that.
Sometime you want to exercise your mind.
Is that a sin?
Will that hurt Microsoft?

2015-09-06T04:05:02+00:00 I trashed windows 10 and went back to 7 home premo. Total gimmick the windows 10 is. Bunch of trash sales junk and total waste of time upgrading too. Goes to show ya nothing is really FREE is it Microdonks. I think its time for a new and more user friendly version of windows NOT made by the Microsoft clowns who try and spill this garbage on us. You have only 30 days to revert back to your previous windows version if you choose to upgrade to 10. Took me 3 days of frustration trying to get simple hearts, minesweeper and solitaire games back up n running and getting totally barfed out with the sales sites for games yea gotta buy. If you use the FREE games...... you get a ton of pop-up adds. Like seriously..... gimme a break. I get enough from telemarketers at home. Dont need my windows software adding to it. This new windows version is a total bruhaha. Id rather pay for an upgrade than to have to be bombarded with this garbage. Smarten up Microsoft.
