Metro sucks, however.

So that is what the development time was spent on!

I was actually quite pleased that Solitaire didn't change from Win3.1 through Win2K. It was possible to see just how much faster my computer was by seeing how fast the cards bounced away at the end, because it was done on loop-timing rather than real-time.

Ah, progress.

The twee fairies have been at work again, I'm sure the article read "...Crap Wreck"

And there's a much more fitting descriptor buried in the article. A finer description for MS software I've never read.
