Arrow keys to move cursor, select key to select card/stack of cards/position, arrow keys to new location, select key again.

I don't want to start a MS Vista thread again, but I just checked, and you can play the included solitaire with just the arrow keys and "enter".

Also, while on the subject of Games on Vista, Mahjongg is included! Vista ROCKS!!! ;^)
