I just finished chatting with a Microsoft representative who confirmed that access to the game server by the built in games in Windows 7 and XP have been turned off.  The company line is that they are updating users to Windows 10.  The built in internet games like Internet Backgammon or Internet Spades are mind numbing distractions for many of us.  I could understand if denying access to the game server would save Microsoft thousands of dollars, but it does not.  This form of juvenile behavior by such a financial monster is disappointing.   We have not allowed Windows 10 computers on our network because of all the security issues which Microsoft is constantly sending our updates to try and fix the problems.  I wish they would act in a mature manner and not try to force their way on to others.  Finally, does anyone know of a simple game server to play games like Internet Spades?  I want something very simple for I use it to relax my brain.

none of my games will start to play
