Limiting parental controls to standard users only is a big handic   

i have Vista and is Microsoft doing anything about letting an admintrator 
user have parental controls.  there are more than one adminstrator on our pc. 
Right now only standard users can have controls on them, but this limits them 
to control their pc as an adminitrator. All I want is to control their access 
to the internet, they shouldnt have to get permission everytime they want to 
delete a file etc. I want restriction only for internet related access but 
want them to be able to have liberty as an admin for other applications etc.

There's an old argument in theology that goes something like this:

If God is truly omnipotent, then that means he can create a rock that even 
he can't lift, right?

The same is true here - if you allow parental controls to restrict an 
administrator, then who gets to set those controls in place?

Super-Administrator?

No, Administrator is it - if you're an administrator, you can do pretty much 
anything to the system, or give yourself enough powers to get the same 
effect. If you were able to turn parental controls on your kids' accounts 
while they are logging on as administrator, they'd only turn them back off 
again.
