For the first time, Microsoft doesn’t include solitaire in their Windows OS, specifically Windows Vista Business Edition. Oh what the heck solitaire you may say, but solitaire is the most played games in the world, beating any other advance games. Taking hours of employees time from their precious official working hours translating to millions of dollars in productivity loss.

One genius programmer has developed a web based version of solitaire using YUI. No flash at all, 100% javascript. Complete with nice design, multiple selections of decks, nice animation and what not. It’s a full featured solitaire game.

That’s it? What about freecell? I want to play freecell. Don’t worry, there’s 13 games to choose from, including freecell, klodinke, spider and et cetera. Just have a look at the following screenshot. Best of all is that it’s free and you can rank yourself against the other player, worldwide.

Now before you head over heels jump over to worldsofsolitaire.com to play the games, just ensure your work is finished or you are not on heavy work schedule or you just need a minutes away from work to relieve your stress :-p And be patient, this is fairly new, so the server load is quite high as claimed by the web itself.

One question to ponder though, If hours of playing solitaire translated to millions of productivity loss, how about blogging?
