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?

"Opening page http://zone.msn.com/en/root/default.htm

So either its issues with my connection or the service on Vista/IE7

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