Microsoft Solitaire Turns 25, Online Tournament Starts Monday

You get a good laugh when you open up The Microsoft Solitaire Facebook page because the headline claims to celebrate 25 years of "productivity".

This particular claim is debatable if you've ever been around anyone who plays on a regular basis. There's no telling how much productivity has been lost but people have sure had a lot of fun with the game.

To celebrate a quarter century of Microsoft Solitaire, Mashable reports that an online solitaire tournament will kick off among employees of the company before it opens up to the general public next month. If you want to brush up on how to win, check out these Solitaire game cheats..
