Is there a stop to Internet Backgammon cheaters?

So I have enjoyed playing Backgammon in the past, but nowadays is just IMPOSSIBLE.  I am sure many others have noticed this.  There are players out there that can control the dice at least for them, and some can even move more chips than the allowed by standard rules.

For example, not 10 minutes ago, I rolled 6 and 5, then the guy doubled me on his first roll, and got double three, then I rolled and I got 4 and 1, then he rolled and got 3 and 1, then I rolled and got 3 and 2, then he rolled and got double 5 eating my lonely chip in position 1 and covering position 3 from position 8.  Do you call that a lucky roll?  I call that an engineered roll, if you know Backgammon.

Yesterday, a guy moved 6 chips using a double 5.  That same guy rolled 4 consecutive pairs.

Yesterday, I had 5 out of 6 positions occupied in my side and I ate one of the other player's chips.  I did this repeatedly.  The guy just lost 1 roll out of 4 chips I ate.  He also had 5 of 6 positions occupied.  He ate a chip of mine twice.  I had to roll some 10 times before I could get out each time.

If you know Backgammon, you know this is NOT right.  Losers out there have found a way to cheat, and that ruins the fun for us, the ones with a brain.

Microsoft, please put an end to this.  Your Windows license is expensive, and I paid for it, and I expect to be able to enjoy all the features in the OS, and that includes the included Internet gaming.  Roll a patch that can end this blatant cheating!

    You might not be as smart as yout think. It is possible to cheat certain games and internet backgammon certainly has plenty of vulnerabilities and bugs. Your attempt to patronize failed miserably and there's no such thing as 'chemical imbalance'.

    OK, cheat programs don't exist and no one is using them if they do exist.  The Holocaust never happened either, nor did anyone land on the moon.

    Idiot.

    i kinda agree w u... but i think the prog is somehow rigged... for example, idk wat level da "computer" player is set on, but it makes random stupid moves... and toward the end, as if da computer wants to let u win quickly, u will get incredible number of doubles... may b the prog is set to lend toward one player more than his/her opponent??? idk... but i think da dice prog is messed up somehow.... :-\
