EC Tests Show Windows Vista Is Above Average — At Blocking Content

Posted by timothy on from the bad-oysters-good-laxative dept.

littlekorea writes "Microsoft's much-maligned Vista operating system has been named in the top three of 26 tools tested by the European Commission to filter out web content deemed inappropriate for children. The EC tests found that none of the 26 products enjoyed a 100 percent success rate, failing to block over one in five adult sites. It also found that few tools could overcome the workarounds available through cache or translation sites."

    Have you stopped to think that perhaps the problem is your video card and not your OS?

    I am amazed at how smooth the graphics are in my games with Win 7 ultimate 64 bit, but then again I have 2 Nvidia Geforce 470 graphics cards in SLI mode... you get what you pay for you know. Win 7 gave me a pretty crappy FPS when I just had my GeForce 9400 GT running. But then again so did linux, when I actually managed to run something under wine.
