For the most of you who I assume have never experienced it, the look on a project manager's face when they walk into your cube, see you have solitaire up, and are informed that yes, this is for a client and yes, this is on their terminal server, will be priceless.

Also, it will take much longer than you think to perform this task. The windows games are a pain in the ass to install on server 2008 (apparently do-able but it took my more skilled boss a few hours to figure out and that's just worth our time to do again when his instructions didn't work). There are also very few free solitaire games that will work decently well in a terminal server environment. What the heck is 3D solitaire for? Give me a simple replica of the basic klondike thanks.

"Great, Thanks!" is not something I ever thought I'd hear from a client after installing solitaire on their server.
