Back then they had the technology to build a solitaire program without advertising, now sadly lost to the mists of time.

- somenameforme 2y agoLol wtf. I just ran Solitaire (on Win10) for the first time. I was greeted by a several second loading screen, a prompt telling me to login to something or another so I can "Level Up" and gain XP rewards, then an error message because it failed to login to XBox Live that cycled through multiple times as I cancelled out, before finally allowing me the privilege of playing as a guest on my own computer. And then I get a splash page filled with advertising crap of other products, which then gives me more errors when I tried to 'x' out of it. What an ungodly abomination that is an utterly appropriate living metaphor for what "modern" OSs have turned into. I can't wait until everything also has "AI" shoved into it. It'll be great.
