Why did Microsoft made games on the computer

Why games on Window computer? That's a good question! Probably for the obvious reason, Bill Gate wants the user to be able to 'work hard and play hard'. But the actual reason, you may have to ask him personally. Anyway, according to doctor a person cannot work non-stop, that person will die! He/She will naturally finds way to relax such as watching television, read magazine/books, have some snacks, and not forgetting-playing games! If you're asking about those simple built-in graphical games such as Minesweeper, Solitaire, Pinball(Window XP) which comes with our operating system when we just bought it newly, i guess the reason is because computer users expected some kind of leisure program such as games in a normal computer.

But if you're asking me about those CD/DVD games which were nowadays a die-die-must-buy such as Halo, Age-of-Empire, Dungeon Siege. I bet it is one of a way to booast Microsoft business against other game developer company such as Blizzard etc. Besides, which kids nowadays do not play games on computer? It is indeed very hard to resist for kids.
