Microsoft Sudoku

I was insanely (beyond any reasonability) jealous when I heard that people who buy the new Ultra-Mobile PC would get a pen-enabled version of Sudoku, written by Microsoft, for free. Not fair!, especially after I'd dropped three large on a Tablet!

Of course, you can't underestimate the efficiency of the blogosphere. Tablet users can play Microsoft Sudoku all they want, with a little hackery.

Download the demo that shows how to optimize application for the UMPC, and it turns out that there is a complete Sudoku binary, optimized for ink, included. Unpack the executable, look in the /bin/Release directory, and copy that executable anywhere you want ... then delete the rest of the stuff. Bam!

Please note, the download requires Windows Geniune Advantage, so you might want to flip to IE to download.

Thanks for the tip, Traci!
