I agree Microsoft had an opportunity to capitalize on casual game and they missed it. In fact once I think about it Microsoft was really close to it. They had MSN Spaces, essentially a dumbed down version of my space and they had The Zone. MSN Spaces already had MSN messenger intergration and MSN messenger provided games you could play with your friends, my favorite being Hexic. Looking back it seems like such a natural move to try to tie it all together. Of course Hindsight is always 20/20.
