F*** you. RSS was built by other people and without all these contributors (bloggers and developers), it wouldn't be this popular. So, Microsoft, if you want to screw up the entire blogging community, go ahead. Commercialize RSS so that nobody is able to speak his mind anymore without having to pay you a subscription fee that's way to high for amateur bloggers <em>(no offense of course; otherwise I wouldn't be reading this blog :) )</em> to pay... F*** you, Microsoft! F*** you.

Where is it? In IE 7.0, which was released a short time ago, and in Windows Vista, which isn't even released yet! And Microsoft.com website got RSS feeds support not so long ago, when half on Internet websites had RSS feeds for ages... And now they are trying to patent RSS???
