Lol! Well, it wont work under Home Premium as it is an Ultimate extra I am still not pressed to get Ultimate because I still cant warrant the cost!

Its kind of a fun game but too easy to beat. It takes a bluff too easy and everyone folds when you go "ALL IN"

Yes it would be better if there was a slot that money spat out of after a win. I will call gatsey and request one ASAP! :P

If you guys keep talking about Ultimate's games, it's going to make buy Vista Ultimate just to try them out. I'm still with Crabby, Home Premium has everything that I need, but I hate when I hear everyone else talking about Ultimate extras and I can't get into the conversation.

Boy, that's not my experience. I could not bluff em, and they often beat me up when I went all in. Are you talking about "The Great Gatsey?"

Texas HoldEM is also broken.

J & Q is not a pair
7 & 5 is not a pair

and so on

Not sure who Microsoft contracted to write these games,
BUT they should get their money back!!

Seems to me you have a BAD install of Texas Holdem.. my version is pretty hard to beat. and it knows the difference in pairs, triples, flushes and straights...
suggest you remove and reinstall....
PS: I do win more than I lose, but it is close... I average about 65% win and I play REAL TEXAS HOLDEN and win better than 85% in real.

Snuff: Why would you think I have a "BAD install"? The installation was done automatically by the update utility. If it were bad, there should have been some checksum errors during the install and the process aborted. AND if the installation was bad, the program should crash and burn at startup, not indiscriminately pair the wrong cards.

That's not correct jemw The problem is that sometimes Vista doesn't expand the files correctly, so you can get programs to install fine and then, once you are in them, errors show up... it is very annoying

Crabby:
This revelation (Vista doesn't expand the files correctly) is most disturbing. If that really is the case, then Vista would be SERIOUSLY flawed for use in any production environment. The next question which pops up is: Does this issue exist for each application that needs to expand a file when it runs? If so it would explain some issues I have had with Office Excel 2007 opening up in an unknown state some of the time. Would you please share the basis for this information?

I have noticed other issues (programs and hardware which were removed using the Control Panel) still trying to run at boot time. Totally random and up to weeks after they were uninstalled - Media Center tools associated with TV Cards which I removed weeks ago still occasionally start after a power cycle reboot.
