Microsoft Plans RSS Features In Longhorn

Microsoft plans to include in the next version of Windows features to manage Web content distributed via RSS, an increasingly popular way of reading online news and blogs.

Windows Longhorn will include features to help PC users subscribe to information published by bloggers and Web news sites using the Really Simple Syndication protocol.

A test version of Longhorn--the desktop operating system due late next year--that Microsoft plans to distribute at its Professional Developers Conference in September will include the ability to subscribe to news feeds, blog entries, and other Web content published via RSS from within the Windows user interface.

The RSS protocol, based on XML, is a popular way for authors of online news sites, blogs, and audio "podcasts" to automatically alert their subscribers that new content is available. Today, most PC users who subscribe to RSS feeds view entries with special reader software or through Web sites like Technorati.com and Bloglines.com that aggregate the feeds. Apple Computer has built some support for subscribing to RSS feeds into its Safari Web browser, and the Mozilla Foundation includes the ability to bookmark RSS headlines in its Firefox browser.

Some of the features Microsoft plans for Longhorn will be available to Windows XP users as well. The RSS extensions and ability to subscribe to feeds from within Windows will also appear in a version of Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP.
