[casual_games] Vista Casts A Pall On PC Gaming

[Brad Condran]

There are some PowerPoint slides here 
http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/7/4/a7470441-4171-4c07-93ca-ef5f07e7a9c3/Casual%20Games.zip

it has the following

    * Developing Games for Xbox Live Arcade
    * Developing Web-Based Games for MSN Games
    * Preparing Casual Games for Windows Vista
    * Developing Casual Games for MSN Messenger
    * Future Platforms and Opportunities for Casual Games



unfortunately there are audio files in the zip in addition to the powerpoint 
files so it's a little bulky 130mbs or so
