Solitaire and Minesweeper Microsoft first included Solitaire with Windows 3.0 in 1990. While it seemed like just a simple card game, its hidden purpose was to help users learn a new skill: dragging and dropping with a mouse. (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Solitaire) Minesweeper joined the Windows lineup with Windows 3.1 in 1992. It was designed to help users get comfortable with right-clicking and left-clicking. (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Minesweeper) Among tech enthusiasts, there was a long-running inside joke that MCSE (officially, Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert) really stood for “Minesweeper Consultant & Solitaire Expert.”
