ive always seen the reason MS included solitaire and minesweeper was to teach people how to use a mouse and a gui.

I can remember even in the early 2000s when we started installing PCs instead of green screen terminals at different locations having employees play solitaire as a way to get them used to their new computers and learning how to use a mouse.
