    Anyone know a way to get the pre-installed solitaire and mahjong (sp) from Windows Vista Home Premium onto business?

    I like those simple programs.
    Kinda a bummer they wouldn't put solitaire on Business Edition.. :(

    Thanks for any suggestions. :)

    MS chose to not include the games on the Business Edition. You might be able to find 3rd party similar apps, but MS isn't going to let you use the games found in other versions of the OS.

    Yes its true. I always believed that games wouldn't be included in Vista Business, but after exploring the OS trying to remove things I didn't need I came across that.
