On a side note, if you are like me and think a game is going to take forever to write and you just don't have the time, I have to let you know that it is easier than you think.

When I .NETified Escapa, definitely an addictive game, it took me 6 hours to port the logic and most of that time was getting the timing right. The basic structure and buffering issues were solved quickly with a few Live.com searches. If you are at all interested, just email us and we will help you as you go, that is what a community is all about. John and I are extremely excited about this contest, Express, and .NET 2.0 and want to help the masses give it a try and see what they think.
