zone games

Does anyone know if Vista will have the current online Zone games like Backgammon/Reversi/Checkers like XP has? I play them quite a bit and would miss them if they aren't included.

But that assumes that: a) I use MSN (I do, but not the point) and b) that at least one of my contacts is online and wishes to play the game
The great thing about the internet games in XP is that I can just fire them up, and usually after a few seconds I'll be playing another human being.
Besides, on of the nice shiney new features in Vista is the new communications sub-system WCF. Why not utilise it to enable some internet based gaming within Vista? -- </Slugsie>

Currently, the page is not loading on IE 7 on Vista for me, its stuck at "Opening page http://zone.msn.com/en/root/default.htm
So either its issues with my connection or the service on Vista/IE7 -- -- Andre Windows Connect | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Yahoo! Games has no affiliation or any sort with Windows Vista Games I believe...
