Yesterday we announced the final release of Windows Live Movie Maker. This was actually part of a larger release of updates to the Windows Live Essentials suite of programs. It includes a major update to Windows Live Family Safety, and minor updates to many of the other Windows Live Essentials programs.
Today over on the Windows Experience blog, Brandon Le Blanc tells you all about the Family Safety update. In short, the updated version of Windows Live Family Safety still helps parents keep their kids safer online by helping them manage which websites their kids can visit, and which contacts they can communicate with in Windows Live Spaces, Hotmail and Messenger. But now Family Safety also provides deeper integration with Windows, resulting in fewer log-in prompts and faster web surfing compared to previous versions. Also, because Family Safety now uses Windows accounts as the basis for storing settings, parents no longer need to create a Windows Live ID for each child. To read more about all the Family Safety improvements, head on over to the Windows Experience blog.
And if you haven’t got it yet, be sure to download the latest version of Windows Live Essentials from download.live.com.
