Windows Games

[TheOtherGuy]

I have Vista Enterprise and I was wondering if there was a way to add
the standard Windows games to it. Yes, I know they're lame but I enjoy
playing Backgammon against others on the net... helps pass time at the
airport.

Because the Vista Business edition is, as the name implies,
targeted for businesses, the games are not installed by default. You
can add them: Control Panel > Programs > Turn Windows Features On or Off
> Place a check mark in Games.

Backgammon is not shipped with ANY edition of Vista.
They have altered the games from what XP had.
