Bad for Windows 8
stumojaNovember 25, 2012
Pros
worked great in Windows 7
Cons
A lot of problems in Windows 8
Summary
Beware, concerned parents. Microsoft technicians on the phone have admitted that Family Safety is not working properly on Windows 8. Don't assume Family Safety for Windows 8 will work by merely setting it. I have had to shut down my child's laptop and will likely need to reinstall Windows 7, as Family Safety has not blocked adult content even after setting all the proper web filter restrictions. BIG HEADACHE!
Good protection
