Vista - Parental Controls and Messenger

In previous betas, filtering what could be used with a messenger client was
possible. With RC2, the Messenger plug-in is no longer there, however,
activitiy logs still show blank logs for various Messenger activities, such
as chats, webcam use, blocked words etc.. This was a great feature, and it's
gone. Why was it removed? It used to work with windows live messenger.

I am wondering about this also, I have worked with aim and yahoo. Is this
feature going to be turned back on or is there another group I should ask
about?

after 2,5 hours on the phone with MS they do not want to admit there is an
issue here . Instead their solution to this is MSN 9 Premium will work with
this and that I shoudl speak to their MSN department . as this is not a
VISTA ISSUE
this is Microsofts word on it from their technical support
