Integrated parental controls

If you buy a new computer or plan to upgrade your operating system to Windows Vista, reviews say you should try Vista's included parental controls before buying standalone software. Vista offers most of the major features of standalone software: time limit settings, adjustable levels of site and application blocking, IM blocking and usage logging. One criticism is that Vista doesn't allow parents to customize time limits as well as some programs; another is that it doesn't offer remote management. Apple's new operating system, Leopard, offers similar features to Vista and standalone software, except that it doesn't allow the same fine-tuned control over games as Vista does.
