Microsoft goes soft

Expect to see content blockers in next year's version of Microsoft Windows

The New York Times reported recently that Microsoft have plans to implement a game content blocker, the Windows Game Manager, to Windows next year.

With the use of passwords and sorcery, the Windows Game Manager allows parents to regulate the levels of explicit language, violence and sexual content that can be absorbed by children from PC games.

Microsoft have been working on this technology for more than a year now and plan to add the Windows Game Manager to all versions of Windows next year.
