Playing Internet Games

Windows XP provided several games you can play against players over the Internet—Backgammon, Checkers, Hearts, Reversi, and Spades. These and other games are still available on the MSN Games Web site, but you can no longer access them from the Start menu in Windows Vista. When you start an Internet game, the game server finds players matched to your skill level and language from around the world. You can’t select the players or locations of your opponents, but you can communicate with them by using the Chat controls.
