Microsoft Windows and Hartenjagen

In recent years, online Hartenjagen has become a quite popular phenomenon among many online card game players. The reason for its success is due to the fact that the game is has been developing a huge fan base ever since it was included in Microsoft release of the Windows 3.1 OS back in 1992. In short, as the popularity of the Microsoft Windows OS among people all over the world continued to increase, so did the popularity of the card game hearts, which is the American version of Hartenjagen.

As was stated before, it all began with Windows 3.1. However, its inclusion into the OS was no mere coincidence. Microsoft had a lot of good reason to include the game into their OS. One of those reasons was to showcase their new networking technology. This new technology allowed users to establish links with others computers, thereby allowing them to share data. However, the problem was that to sell the Windows OS to more of the general population, they needed a medium in which people can relate to and more importantly attract more people to buy their product.

Their solution came in the form of a card game. During those times, computer games were still in their early stages and most of them were still using different platforms or gaming consoles altogether like the DOS, the Nintendo and Sega respectively. Hearts or Hartenjagen as we’ll now call it, was the perfect medium. Not only was it a time tested classic card game but it was also something people without gaming consoles could relate to. Hartenjagen allowed them to showcase their graphical user interface technology as well as reveal their new networking technology. In short, it was the best choice in which to show to the world the power of the Windows 3.1 OS.

Their solution worked and as a result, Microsoft Windows came to dominate the world’s personal computer market. Even today, most personal computers make use of the latest Windows OS, which still, as a tribute to their own success, includes the card game Hartenjagen. Though gaming is now past its early stages and the world has bare witnessed to the emergence of many great titles like Red Alert, Starcraft, Half-Life, and many more, Hartenjagen still has its place in the gaming world. Greatest testament to this is the fact that Hartenjagen online is still growing strong despite going against great online game titles like World of Warcraft, Warhammer online, Lord of the rings online and many more.
