During this process, I found out that Minesweeper CHEATS, only spawns about half the bombs, and moves bombs mid-game. (Sometimes to where you are clicking, sometimes it will move a bomb that you click on.)
Does this piss anyone off like it does me? I remember playing this game and hearing my friend and co-workers tell me how they beat the game yet I never could. Now I know why, it's a game of luck and no skill. Microsoft putting cheating software on my computer, I should sue.

This is really screwed up and kills the legitimacy of gaming in general. The goal for games is to be challenging but for you to be able to advance if you're skillful. This pulls it down to the level of roulette.
Also it should be mentioned that the algorithm that the author used to find this out is somewhat flawed so it should be taken with a grain of salt.

Well I wonder if it was meant to cheat or that is someone part of the code from back in the 80s when the game was made. I'm sure people at Microsoft don't sit around thinking how they are going to refactor it.
