    Microsoft Family Critical Flaw

    I just spent the day playing with Microsoft Family.

    It has a critical flaw which will impact adoption.

    Sadly the flaw is an easy fix, in fact, Microsoft has had the solution in production in the past but for whatever reason has pulled it.

    What is the critical flaw?

    The critical flaw is that Microsoft Family now requires children to have an e-mail address and Microsoft doesn't provide any parental controls for children's email.

    What is the simple fix?

    Bring back Contact Management.

    As a parent, there is no way I would ever give my children access to an unfiltered e-mail account.

    And I don't mean SPAM filters.

    I mean whitelists for sending and receiving mail.

    Without this level of filtering, children can sign-up for any e-mail confirmation based service (which is most of them).

    My current solution is a local account and 3rd party parental control software.

    As far as I'm concerned, Microsoft Family is a complete waste of time for both parents and Microsoft.

    If Microsoft doesn't want to reimplement Contact Management for Windows Family, then they should just remove Windows Family all together an give up on parental control. No parent with a clue is going to ever use it as is.

    Firefox Critical Flaws

    Mozilla has disclosed the security fixes which where addressed by the latest version of Firefox yesterday. There are 5 critical exploits including two privilege escalations, a heap overflow and the circumvention of a security check, there were also two lesser threats addressed. I have personally experienced no ill effects from upgrading and run a long list of extensions.
