"After years without an update, the&amp;nbsp;classic time-wasters that come included with Windows are finally getting an upgrade thanks to Microsoft Casual Games division. I checked out the Vista versions of Solitaire (perhaps the most casual game of all) MineSweeper,&amp;nbsp;Hearts, Majong Titans, Chess Titans, Inkball. All have recieved a graphical facelift befitting Vista's Apple-ish look. There's also a new 3-in-1 game aimed at kids called Purple Place that looks particularly suited to Xbox Live Arcade. I jokingly inquired&amp;nbsp;about integration with XBLA,&amp;nbsp;and was told that&amp;nbsp;pipe dream was quickly scrapped in favor of boring corporate compliance. Not that Solitaire has much multi-player potential anyway. In&amp;nbsp;fact the Vista in-box games won't be included in some business versions, a smart move if you want your people to get any work done. Another example of how your employees could be&amp;nbsp;spending their productive hours after the jump."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
