4) I too have had a computer player refuse to drop a queen of spades on me. If card counting strikes you as cheating, you are just a very poor card player and should never try bridge unless you want your partner to divorce or strangle you. Of course the comnputer player will "know" when the only unplayed spade that it doesn't hold is an ace or king, and will lead out the queen. 3) The one thing the computer does well is count cards that have been played. My computer opponents frequently pass low spades that's just stupid strategy. If I'm winning most of the time against three computer players, and microsoft cheats, then the programmers are so bad that Vista would never even boot up, no matter how bad the program is at hearts. 2) The computer stinks as a hearts player.

I can't get above 61% (nearly 800 games so far), but I attribute this mostly to chance and my shortcomings as a player. 1) I don't believe that the program cheats in the normal sense of the term.
