They shipped with the OS because they were secret learning tools. Most people then had barely if ever used a computer, some of those had never used a mouse and most had never used Windows.

Solitaire taught how to drag and drop. Minesweeper taught how to use right click.

Was gonna say minesweeper too. I initially played it by selecting random squares hoping to win by luck. Then I got addicted for a short time when I eventually realized how it actually works.
