    2 kids who can't get away with much on a computer

    I bet there are many times when a certain two kids wish their father wasn't Bill Gates, like when trying to get away with things on a computer.

    45 minutes a day of total screen time
    I would have that used up 45 minutes after I wake up. Then I would have to find something else to do, like go outside or something.

    45 minutes? Ouch.

    But yea, like Blue said, it's a great way to plug the parental control aspect of the software.

    Ya, he can honestly say from first hand experience that "he gets it!" Him being a parent will probably do more to improve parental controls on Windows than any other single factor. He'll go, geeze I could really use 'X' and it will be created.

    Is it just me or did that sound like it came from a Vista press release?

    I agree with Andrew, that REALLY sounds like a press release >_<

    And those limits are 1/2 or 1/3 what they should be, and there shouldn't be weekend restrictions.

    No coincidence that Viva Pinata is made by Rareware (owned by MS), eh?

    If it isn't in a Vista press release, Bill needs to fire someone in marketing.
