Because it's an odd version, Microsoft does everything right on odd versions.

Hey, VB3 was god's programming language  It was versions 1,2, and 4 that were bad. And maybe 5 and 6, it's been a while.

The version that shipped with Win8.1 was buggy as heck but they've updated it and that seems to have resolved my crash issues. I like it.

In an era of 'Elf 'n' Safety' gone mad, it is nice to see that someone is actually paying attention.
I have seen these socket covers used where children are playing, and never gave it a second thought.
Wow, how dangerous they are!
It seems that some people look for reasons to 'Protect' us, but that protection is more dangerous by its presence.
Very interesting page.

If you put a screwdriver into the earth socket it will open the shutters on the live and neutral terminals - THEREFORE ALL SCREWDRIVERS SHOULD BE BANNED! NOW!

I also have these in many areas as a hangover from when nippers where smaller.
Yes the shutters are there, but you can still shove things in the earth hole. The plain plastic covers (like the one at the top) are also generally tight enough that a youngers hasn't got the finger strength to remove them.

Not according to the report.
It seems children as young as five months can get them off.

as an aside I used to have open my grandmothers heart medication (Nitro I think Heh, Heh!!!) as she couldn't beat the child proof cap, child proof is really just for parents

My kids must be exceptionally strong then, both of them can get them out when they wish...

Depends how small they are, the quality of the sockets and how new the covers are, and how many times they have been removed/re-inserted.
My kids never really went near the plugs, a couple of stern warnings and they listened.
|
|
|
|
|
My daughter was pulling them out as soon as she could crawl so about 7 or 8 months... although both her and her brother have lost interest in them now...

Perhaps if you use US/EU type sockets, those covers are flawed since they provide they child with something that actually fits in the earth pin.
But our sockets[^] have large round pins and a much larger array of items will fit in the earth pin, so keeping it covered in our scenario is probably still better.
EDIT: Ironically I chose an image of a socket with no safety mechanism.

Safest[^]
From the British Standards Institute 1363 standard it is regarded as the safest in the world.
