Summary: Great gift for the non-techie parent!
Comment: I don't have kids, but I have friends and sisters who do, and I'm always the person they call when their kids manage to mess up their machines. Deleted files, infested spyware, useless and memory hogging downloads...kids and these things go together and since i'm "the computer person," it's usually my job to fix what's broken.
I got Kiddix for my most troublesome kid-friend and her frustrated mom, and I haven't been bugged to "debug" their machine since. This makes me very happy.
The install was pretty painless, and my friend set it all up for her daughter pretty quickly.
it would be great if there were a version for 12 year old boys...can't beleive the stuff they "accidentally" download.

Summary: Kiddix Platform and support
Comment: We love this prodcut for our 5 year old. She has learned a lot about navigating a computer environment and still has access to traditional web-based programs (Nick and Webkinz). I love that the platform creates a safe and secure area for me to monitor and configure while also being able to use the laptop for business purposes without fear of child tampering of the windows platform or important files

Summary: Great operating system for kids
Comment: I have 5 children between the ages of 12 and 3...and each of them like to tinker with the computer. Kiddix enables the youngest ones to enjoy a safe environement that makes sense to them. They know how to boot their computer into Kiddix (Win NT is also installed) log in under their individual IDs, and access the programs that they like. The paint program and the games are most popular with the younger ones. They also like to explore the various parts Kiddix and the Web...and it is good to know that I don't have to look over their shoulders constantly.
It was easy to install, and runs nicely alongside Windows NT. I haven't tried it on a Vista machine.
This is a great product for younger kids (most popular in my house with my 5 year old twins). I hope a pre-teen and adolescent version is in the works.

Summary: kiddix platform
Comment: I purchased this software because of the reviews and thought my children would enjoy it. Turns out there are some complications if you are downloading on a vista platform. Worked well but was not able to switch back to the vista operating system. The directions for downloading with vista run computers was good but did not work for me. I had to replace computer and am hoping a new version of Kiddix will be out soon.

Summary: Great software
Comment: We have been using Kiddix for quite a few months now. This is a very good piece of software for our kids. It is easy to set up and easy for them to use. The developers always appreciate feedback and incorporate suggestions into future versions. My kids especially like the paint program and surfing the web. With all the various idiot-proof filters I know they will be safe when using Kiddix and I know all my data in Windows will be 100% safe too.

Kiddix is designed from the ground up with your family's needs and safety in mind. The software is a complete operating system, installed alongside but separate from Microsoft Windows. Designed for kids between the ages of 5 and 10, Kiddix includes a word processor, calendar, email, web browser, many educational titles, a suite of games, and hassle-free parental controls. Bottom line - it's safe, easy to set up, and fun for kids!
