Assuming you were running Internet Explorer and Windows, that is. But successes like Scrabulous (now Lexulous) reflected the growing place of social networking in people's online lives. Even though MSN Games still hosts millions of users each month, Microsoft's playing catch-up by launching a pair of casual games on Facebook and MySpace.

"We're excited to bring two of our most popular games to the Facebook and MySpace communities," said Megan Hodel, marketing manager for MSN Games at Microsoft.
