I am very dissapointed that you can now only access the
msn gaming zone from the administrator log in while using
Windows 2k.

I want to allow users of my system access to the msn game
network but cannot because of the inherent security risk.

Insisting that someone be online and under the
administrator login in order to use the service is
unprofessional and foolish.

Thumbs down to MSN, I hope this really hurts usage of the
site. I know that I will no longer access it until the
problem is fixed.

Maybe they are just trying to lower the system burden so
that it will actually run on a Windows server.

Off to post this all over the internet to inspire the
ridicule it deserves.
