CNET Editors' review
This top-rated trial for one of the most popular solitaire programs around continues to improve. The 2009 version of SolSuite Solitaire adds another two original games, bringing the grand total to 500...for now. Expect to see even more new games in later releases. The excellent trial offers a free month of play (with three shuffles per game), and big solitaire fans will likely register before the 30 days are up.
The helpful interface lets you browse games grouped by type, time, difficulty, and skill level, or you can have the program choose a variation at random. SolSuite provides a glance at each game's rules, a difficulty rating, and a layout. Players can choose between different card sets and backgrounds, and they can even create their own solitaire games using the Rules Wizard.
Strategies, tips, and hints help beginners, and adepts will enjoy the robust statistics including graphs, 3D charts, tables, logs, and online high scores. You can always undo your moves and return to a good position. The suite supports multiple players, which is perfect for families and tournaments. A longtime editor and user favorite on CNET Download.com, SolSuite looks likely to further satisfy our solitaire cravings in 2009.

"Great Game -- Update installation, not so much"
Version: SolSuite Solitaire 2012 12.4
Pros
This is an awesome suite of games. Tons to choose for play. Have not encountered one bug in this software. I use it everyday. Great technical support and response time (usually).
Cons
For me, has 2...First, when high score is achieved, I have not found a way to stop from displaying stats after game. It is just a small peeve and would not give up software because of it.
#2--For me, this is a big one. I receive emails regarding updates. When I receive one, I download update. Usually this is possible with no interference to installed software. I received an email announcing an update to Sol Suite 2012. I was unaware my update period was over and downloaded and installed. Sol Suite would not accept the activation code (makes sense). Since there was a problem with 2012 version, I went back to my previous version, downloaded updates I had downloaded before. Now I can't use it either except in the free version. Refusing the activation key is not a rare occurrence and have had to request support on several occasions even on some (but not all) updates. This is such a problem because have to wait for support response to use again.Summary
I will continue to use this software when my problem is corrected and my old version reactivated. It is great game software with minimal problems. Sorry about the long con narrative but I have never been able to be brief!! I also own both Mahjongg Suite and Sudoku Suite made by same group. They are also excellent purchases.
