It's easy for those of us who play "real" games to look down upon those silly little included mini-games included in Windows, but there's something to said for having access to an installed base of EVERY person who uses Windows in the world. What appeals to EVERY person? Traditional games like Solitaire (which was packed in with the original Windows to teach people how to use a mouse!). As for the hardcore gamers? They'll just buy the latest and greatest game anyway and will likely not give a hoot about any pack-in.
