Īs an easter egg, Microsoft intentionally includes a few impossible games, with negative numbers.
The significance of the "Microsoft 32,000" to many FreeCell players is such that other computer implementations of FreeCell will often go out of their way to guarantee compatibility with these deals, rather than simply using the most readily available random number generator for their target platforms. Out of the current Microsoft Windows games, eight are unsolvable. The project ran from August 1994 to April 1995, and only #11982 proved unwinnable. When Microsoft FreeCell became very popular during the 1990s, the Internet FreeCell Project attempted to solve all the deals by crowdsourcing consecutive games to specific people. Later versions of FreeCell include more than one million deals. These deals are known as the "Microsoft 32,000", and all but one of them have been completed. The original Microsoft FreeCell package supports 32,000 numbered deals, generated by a 15- bit, pseudorandom-number seed. According to company telemetry FreeCell was the seventh most-used Windows program, ahead of Word and Microsoft Excel. Microsoft created the Entertainment Packs to encourage non-business use of Windows. FreeCell is not included in the Windows 8 operating system but is available in the Windows Store as the free Microsoft Solitaire Collection, which is also bundled with Windows 10. Some features have been removed, such as the flashing screen to warn the player of one move remaining. The Windows Vista FreeCell implementation contains basic hints and unlimited move retraction (via the Undo menu choice or command), and the option to restart the game. Prior to Windows Vista, the versions for Windows were limited in their player assistance features, such as retraction of moves. Today, there are FreeCell implementations for nearly every modern operating system as it is one of the few games pre-installed with every copy of Windows.
