RSS in Longhorn
What it means..
Sunday, June 26, 2005 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Microsoft is planning to support RSS in many of the programs it will be bundling with Longhorn such as the much anticipated IE 7. But is this a good thing? Some fear Microsoft will end up embracing and co-opting the RSS standard. Read the whole thing.

There are plenty browsers that support RSS feeds. Or was that sarcasm?
Anyhow, what remains to be seen is how they plan on using it. RSS being primarily aimed at news syndication, thus being a plain, linear list of messages. It's not very complex or anything.

It's hardly as if the presence of RSS in IE was the key point of the article!
The integration of schedules/calendars into Outlook sounds like a more useful concept to me, and accessing RSS via APIs will be very useful INHO

Craeonics- was sarcasm. For some reason the rendering engine here dropped the bracketd " < deadpan > < / deadpan >".\
Latest article on CNET talks about not only how the RSS feeds will be incorporated, but the interface will become decidedly more "Mac" (at least according to their observations). It just seems like MS is clearly running a reactive game instead of proactively trying to innovate. They're grabbing tried and true models of operations that others have implemented and then advertising that they've now added this "innovative new feature."
They should expend more effort marketing their tablet technology: it really is novel, really is functional, and really does change the way a user works. Unfortunately it's still so dang expensive.
