  Of Microsoft, RSS and Longhorn
Time: 20:39 EST/01:39 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Andre Da Costa

We thought we'd let the dust settle before examining Microsoft's announcement that it will incorporate RSS support in Longhorn, and the upcoming IE7 release (in a service pack for XP). Why? Because the haze cast by the conflicting claims and counter-claims means that you're not going to get much sense of what's really happening hours after. And, besides, it's not as if Longhorn, or IE7, are out there waiting to be used right now. The announcement at Gnomedex confers instant respectability on the six-year-old format. More than that, Microsoft seems to be getting past its old, ingrained habit of "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" that it used to such good effect on Java and Netscape (and allegedly others such as Kerberos, CSS, and way back to Altair Basic.) At that Wikipedia page, someone has prematurely added RSS as the latest EEE victim.
