No, it's a bundled-by-default-with-Windows-10 thing. ---

OK. I misread "They're removing all the games...Except Candy Crush" as CC already being installed. No matter, the main thing from your link is that it appears that the weepin' an' wailin' an' gnashin' of teeth over the loss of Hearts may have been premature. We can all sleep better for that. bastard by name bastard by nature

No, not except Candy Crush - they're removing existing games.

They are then bringing in others, including Candy Crush, which has always been shit and yet is still trundling along in its shitness in some quarters so its not really surprising that they'd try and lure people into upgrading by using it.

> Because Microsoft is just epic when it comes to jumping on bandwagons that have already gone the distance...

That really better have been deliberate irony, though I fear it were not and thus you deserve nothing less than a hard slap on the cheeks.

I can't find the original source for that "And they are coming back in Windows 10" quote - it's all over news articles but not being returned when I search for it.

The official Windows upgrade thing says: Solitaire, Minesweeper and Hearts Games that come pre-installed on Windows 7 will be removed as part of installing the Windows 10 upgrade. Microsoft has released our version of Solitaire and Minesweeper called the “Microsoft Solitaire Collection” and “Microsoft Minesweeper”.

Also, Google's suggested search is a bit sinister...

It wasn't that hard to find, I followed the link in Dave's link to MS's Windows blog: "Solitaire. Hearts. Minesweeper. These are games that have been played millions of times over the years in Windows. And they are coming back in Windows 10." bastard by name bastard by nature

I swear that text wasn't there when I looked. :/

It's definitely not being returned by Google though.

google.com/search?q="And%20they%20are%20coming%20back%20in%20Windows%2010"%20site:blogs.windows.com - no results for the phrase; first result for unquoted version doesn't mention hearts, candy, or coming.

I shouldn't be surprised given how fucking useless Google are, but their incompetence is not usually so directly obvious.

Yes but it's still /there/ :@

Uninstalled the Windows Update that brought it, should be gone after a reboot :C

I hear the official solution from MS is to upgrade it Windows 10. That'll sort it.

you can use this to get on with it: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO I was going to wait but doing a motherboard swap has royally fucked my 8.1 installation, took hours just to get it barely functioning at all and it's still not right. So I might as well jump in on 10 straight away if I'm doing an install anyway. Early adoption! The download is taking aaaages. My vomputer was broken while they were letting some people preload it.

Downloaded 5% in ~4 minutes. So about an hour and a half? Not too bad for release day, if it holds up.

P.S. is Win 10 any good? do I want it? should I be upgrading my laptop to it in the middle of exam revision?

it was, yeah. I dunno why the download is taking so long for me - I have a 60mb connection and it's gonna be at least a three hour job. Maybe related to how much of a mess windows is for me now though.

If you're doing the free upgrade you can't just install Windows 10 without having first upgraded from 7, 8 or 8.1. Once you've upgraded and activated Windows 10 you can perform a clean reinstall if you wish, but you must do an upgrade first to link your previous Windows activation to Windows 10.
