Microsoft: Chew on RSS while-u-wait for Longhorn

Big news from Microsoft, for all you RSS and blog devotees: Microsoft’s lifting its support of RSS up a significant notch. This from a good read in Business Week:

Before Microsoft brings out the new technology with Longhorn, it’ll make RSS feeds readable from inside its widely used Internet Explorer browser. Right now, users typically have to cut-and-paste Web addresses into RSS readers to subscribe to services. RSS subscribers will be able to read those feeds in a test version of the new browser, available later this summer.

ps. It’s Sunday and I’m taking a quick lunch break while working at the office on Monday’s paper – yes, someone’s gotta get this thing out for you. Upside: The phones don’t ring and you can be surprisingly productive. Downside: It’s Sunday. And I’m being teased by my view of Darling Harbour and the Balmain peninsula from the 25th floor.
