According to Microsoft's guidelines, an ellipsis is only necessary
when the command asks for confirmation or additional parameters. "If
simply viewing the window is a common action, don't use an ellipsis."

Then the reason that "Fastest times" in the original minesweeper have an
ellipsis is that the user there can choose between pressing OK  or to
clear all high scores.
