It's operating system season
and there are so many operating systems ripe for the harvest. Coming this week is the next incarnation of large feline -Mac OSX Snow Leopard. Then in another few weeks, Microsoft will be releasing Windows 7. A new version of Ubuntu is also coming very soon. My house is full of Macs and I will be getting the latest because at $49 for a 5 user license, why shouldn't I?
I am most excited to see what they do with parental controls. However as each day passes, I am less and less hopeful that anything will happen. Apple released a lot of literature today about Snow Leopard today and there is not one mention of parental controls.
Microsoft, on the other hand, has a very detailed blog post with all the "enhancements" they are about to make to parental controls in Windows 7.
However, it seems that Windows 7 will be taking a step backwards in parental controls. They have removed web filtering and reporting from the operating system alltogether. Relying on third party software to do it for them.
