Parental controls get a boost with Windows Vista
Saturday, June 24th, 2006
With all the games on the market, how do parents ensure their children will only play the 
appropriate games at the appropriate times? The upcoming Windows Vista will include a slew of parental game controls that will please parents and perhaps annoy their children who want to sneak in some World of Warcraft before finishing their homework. The new OS can track, limit and even stop game usage for little Johnny or, as Microsoft calls him, Toby. Chris Donahue, Microsoft’s Group Manger for Games for Windows, stopped by our Westlake Village, California office to show us exactly how the new controls work and how to set them up.
In the past, games were installed into separate start menu folders which made finding them rather difficult. Now, all games will install into a single folder and will display the corresponding ESRB ratings to the right of the game logo. The ratings are live links that give more detailed information about the game and content. Parental controls get a boost with Windows Vista - UPDATE - Video added | TG Daily
