True enough, and since he is on the east side of the lake, it is quite unlikely that you could pick up any stray signals from his place at that range.
It is also quite likely that his personal network admin (I'm guessing that he has one and that Bill could afford one that knows what he is doing) probably has the network security cranked up pretty high, since getting on the private network of the RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD (Da-du-DUM!) would appeal to less scruplous people.
It is aslo possible that I chose to ignore these facts, because nothing runins a good one-liner like over thinking things. So, work with me here, dude. Warpaddling, Bill Gates, open relays, laughter.

When you paddled past Bill's house, did you find any open relays?
If you are intending to do a turn based strategy game, then fire away, Gridley! I can say from experience that a MMTBS is relatively trivial via ASP, and ASP was/is a precursor to ASP.Net. (Remeber that M$ promises.net to be 'language neutral' in the sense that C#-ASP-VB-C++ etc, will be all able to accomplish the same ends.)
I'm already working on my own MMTBS game, and it is comming along very nicely. On the other hand, if you me strategy as in Command and Conquer or Warcraft/Starcraft, you may need to check out what M$ is releasing for modules. They promise (no snickers from the peanut gallery, please) to have modules to allow you do common things w/o reinventing the wheel. Will they ship a fast network communication module? Depends on if they want to try to put wild tangent out of businuess.
Of course, I haven't seen wild tangent actually make their multi player technology work yet...
I hope M$ builds game modules into.net, it would be cool as, not many people know how to build.dlls and COM objects.
