    Silly questoin- but does Vista come with games? I clicked on games in the start menu and then the games explorer and there is nothing in there. Do I have to find them? Could some one tell me please. Thanks

    By default the games in Vista Business are hidden, but to unhide them...

    Go to start -> Control Panel
    Click on "Programs"
    At the top, click on "Turn Windows Featurs on or off"
    Select the "Games" box
    Hit "Ok" and they should appear in your start menu :)

    Yes, it does. but since you have Windows Vista Business it is not enabled by default. You will have to manually enable/install Windows games through the Control Panel->Programs->Turn Windows features on/off and enable the Games checkbox.
