Microsoft brings Solitaire to iPhone and Android, ruins productivity again

We wasted hours upon hours playing Solitaire back in the good old days of Windows 98, and now Microsoft has ruined our productivity again by making everyone's favourite time-killer available on iPhone, iPad, and Android.

Dubbed Microsoft Solitaire Collection, the free app bundles Klondike (the classic Solitaire many of us love and or hate), Spider, FreeCell, Pyramid, and TriPeaks into a polished little package.

While Solitaire Collection is free to play, the game is supported by ads. You can take out a "Premium Subscription" - billed at USD$2 per month to remove them. If you download the app before the end of the year, you'll get a month of premium for free. 

Microsoft Solitaire Collection is available to download through the iOS App Store and Google Play Store.
