Microsoft Readies Windows Live 'Vegas'

Microsoft is inviting testers to take part in a new Windows Live beta program called Family Safety Settings. Appropriately code-named "Vegas," Family Safety Settings extends the parental controls in Windows through a downloadable program. Parents can define specifically what content they wish to block.

"It's an a easy-to-use, flexible way to help keep the kind of content you deem inappropriate from reaching your children--like alcohol, pornography, gambling, tobacco, etc. Windows Live Family Safety Settings Beta also lets you create individual accounts for each child, and see activity reports on the Web sites your kids have visited," Microsoft said in an e-mail. The service can be turned off when parents wish to browse the Web.
