I am not a huge feed person, but I casually check a couple of times a day. I would have to load the program, find the right cube, and ignore all of the distracting 3D effects. This has got to be one of the most impractical ideas ever! It does look really cool, though. :D (As a side note, unless you had hundreds of feeds, it would not look as cool as they describe it to be.) They do say on the website that this is just an example of WPF to educate developers with, so maybe it will succeed in that. Someone might do something useful with it! ;) I don’t want to even think about going through all that stuff just to read my feeds!

But since I don't have Vista it would be as useful as a screen door on a submarine! :P If you click on the above link it will let you download.

I just went to try and download it and they want me to register...so that I can be informed about updates. That is just crap.What's even more weird is that the drop-down list of countries doesn't include the United States.I am taken to this page after signing up: https://www.microsoft.com/emea/msdn/thepanel/download.aspx?tar=universs&lcid=1033and if I hit the "I agree" button it starts a download of UniverRSS.application which is the file that you run. It essentially sees if your computer meets the requirements and will then download the necessary files. That’s stupid!
