For MIcrosoft, one of the goals in launching Windows 7 is to gain more confidence from its users especially through the enhanced Parental Control feature, which makes it very easy to supervise children’s activities on the PC. The new version is easier to use and designed with a very user-friendly interface, to help those parents who are not advanced PC users manage their children’s activities effectively. And those who use Windows Media Center will be able to set additional filters to digital contents such as music, TV shows and movies which they deem not suitable for their children.
Among the possible options, parents can:
- Set specific time limits on their children’s computer use
- Prevent children from playing objectionable games

Needless to say, its spaceship-like design is absolutely fascinating.

As usual, players are ranked on their score, coins collected and numbers of enemies defeated. Wii offers the option of a “cooperative” story mode, but maybe you will find it very difficult not to “accidentally” kill your fellow players by throwing them into a pit or down a cliff (and there are so many ways of being murdered in the NSMB…that’s for sure
