How Bill Gates Use Parental Controls In Windows Vista?

Windows Vista, the generation next operating system is making news for its new features, adventures, and certainly on issues. Among the new features, the feature called parental control has created new tide of waves among Vista customers world wide. It was reported by Reuters that, Microsoft’s undisputed software king, former CEO, Bill Gates is one of the great admirers of this concept. Mr. Gates often use the concept for controlling his own children (a son and a daughter)! It sounds me like Unbelievable!!!… Mr. Gates said that, he prevents his daughter of 10-year old from using the computer for more than 45 minutes per day. He also set some restriction on his son by the way of parental control.

Effective use of parental controls

He said that his daughter started using tablet computers for almost everything in a school. He further added that she started becoming addicted to a gardening game on Xbox 360, named “Viva Piñata” and started playing it continuously for more than three hours. Mr. Gates said he is now happy that he can control her, by making effective use of parental controls, by upgrading the system to Vista. He said that Vista has set a standard for controlling kids from using the computer and enable parents to make their kids to concentrate on their studies and other activities, which was earlier very difficult. Mr. Gates says that, he can now watch the activity log of the kids, which enables him to know what all web sites his daughter has visited and whom she was instantly messaging etc.

Now, let us hope that Mr. Bill gates have become happiest man in the earth, with no other headaches regarding controlling his kids with the aid of superb program called as parental control.

Tool meant for controlling the overall activity of child

Windows Vista parental controls

Parental control is a tool meant for controlling the overall activity of child by the parents. This tool available now with Windows Vista, can block the programs and web sites, which are not supposed to be watched or run by the child according to parents. The tool can keep records of every activity which the child has done so far, if it is directed to do so by the parent. Also, the parent can set timed shutdown, which is also by using the parental control.

The tool will be popularly used by the Windows Vista community of parents to control the activities which are carried out by the child under non supervision of parents. However, according to me, this may widen the psychological gap between parent and kids, especially if there are no siblings. So, what I feel is, parents need to implement this feature, only if the child is non-cooperative by nature, which is like the child Mr. Gates, as mentioned above.

Separate accounts for the child and the parent

One more word of caution goes here. The systems which make use of parental control will have separate accounts for the child and the parent. Parents need to log using parental account and set the preferences. The parental account is protected using a secrete code which is called as the password. Keep this password, out of reach of children. Reverse effect (Phew! Child controlling the parents) can take place, if the password disclosed to the child. So, Echaram… (Meaning beware, be careful.)

Like Mr. Gates, you may want to control the child. Parental Control in Windows Vista will do the job for you. Why are you waiting? Go and purchase the latest Windows family of operating systems, the Windows Vista, and implement parental control to control your knotty kids!
