Gaming + Msn, very common for me.

I don't particularly use windowed games, I prefer the Alt+Tab function but if I remeber correctly, right click on the game program, properties, Look in the location path and type " -w" Without the quotes and it should work.

Depends on the games. Most games now have windowed options. And then you can just Alt+Tab to switch. You'd have to check the settings.
