Microsoft’s popular Windows game, Solitaire is celebrating 25 years and the company is hosting an internal competition to find the best players among its employees.
The employees who rank highest on the leader-boards will will take on players from the public domain on June 5th, 2015 where the last leg of the tournament will be hosted within the game,
Solitaire launched on May 18, 1990 and now has several additional versions like Klondike, FreeCell,
Spider, TriPeaks, and Pyramid.
The game, along with other Microsoft Windows default games have been productivity wasters in companies for decades now (with Candy Crush being the newest). Solitaire was removed as a default on Windows 8 when it was launched.
One could download it from Windows Store, but the game is all set to make a comeback with Windows 10.
