Mahjong... you suck!

Maybe it's the other way around.
I used to have Mahjong on my computer running Windows XP. When I switched to a computer running Windows 8, I found the touch screen interface for Mahjong to be delightful... with one exception. My percent of wins dropped considerably.

Playing games on Windows XP have a higher percent of wins and typically play faster.
I used to win about 60-70% when playing on XP and now I'm down to 25% on W8.
I'm so annoyed, I stopped playing Mahjong.

Yeah... it's different.

I'm able to blast through a game of Solitaire in less than 135 seconds playing on XP and now it's 250 seconds on W8.
My first thought is the delay time required to render/articulate all the screen graphics. Also, using a mouse is much faster than a touch screen... Fact.

Thanks for reading my blog!
