It does all you've mentioned above except it does not run on Mac. The reason I like it is it blocks images. We had Safe Eyes, but if for instance we used Google images to get a picture of something very innocent, we would often see not-so-innocent images. SeeNoEvil blocks the image and requires the parent to come over and unblock an image if wanted. Windows Vista allows you to monitor users time on the computer, breaking it down to how long they were on particular programs or websites. It allows you to limit what times they can use the computer, as well as how much time they can spend in a day. I would not use Vista exclusively, but it helps me see how my children bide their time, especially during school. We use SeeNoEvil (http://www.seenoevilonline.com/ $39).
