Game developer WildTangent has accused Microsoft's new operating system, Windows Vista, of being a little bit problematic when it comes to playing casual games.

Microsoft's Windows Vista was introduced to the world this week but the US firm WildTangent alleged that the corporate giant "has gone overboard" by making Vista so secure it blocks or disables play, reports Yahoo News.

WildTangent chief executive Alex St. John says that Vista "breaks" games from Microsoft's online MSN service as well as from game websites operated by Yahoo, America Online, and RealArcade. We've yet to hear any bad news from people trying to play Company of Heroes or World of WarCraft: The Burning Crusade.

Microsoft has yet to respond to the WildTangent claims.
