Where for art thou Backgammon?

The only MS game I have ever enjoyed playing is Backgammon in XP. After
upgrading to Vista, I discover Backgammon is no longer included. Does MS
have plans to re-include Backgammon? Or there a way to get the XP version to
run in Vista? I realise I could play on Zone.com, but I want something
integrated into my system. I also realise I could use a 3rd party online
Backgammon application, but the MS network is by far the most popular.

MS removed the online XP games in Vista to allow them to sell advertising.

Didn't you know... Vista is for serious work only. Not games :-)
