Quick: what’s the world’s most-used Microsoft Windows application? Word, Excel, Outlook, that obnoxious paper clip thingie? Nope it’s Solitaire, aka the biggest computer game of all time.

Plus, the game was originally programmed to have a “boss key” that would flip to an image of important-looking docs with the press of a button, but those stiff suits at Microsoft shot it down.
