Nothing and a whole lot!

Could this finally mean the 'coming of age' for RSS? Neatly integrated into the next version of Windows, first impressions appear to
be very promising and all indications show a much more powerful
RSS system. That's if Microsoft gets it right.

Does Microsoft
have an education project on their hands with RSS? Will people get RSS? But what does RSS mean to the average computer user at
this moment in time?

Not Really!

Sometimes complete ignorance is bless. But that doesn't
stop us from enjoying our computers and fully benefiting
from DOS. If you're like 95% of
computer users -- probably not much. Does DOS mean anything to you?

People don't
have to understand 'HTML' to enjoy the Internet, fortunately. Knowledge of such material is not
really required by the end-user, unless you're a techie and such technical stuff makes
your heart skip a beat.

Seamlessly integrated
into your computing and web browsing experience. . . Invisible, in the background, microsoft's
RSS Longhorn puts RSS where it rightfully belongs. Knowledge of RSS is not important to the
ordinary computer or Internet user, likewise.

Enriching and enhancing it in more ways than even Microsoft
is probably aware of yet, it will firmly
place RSS into the heart of your computing experience! It will make RSS an integral element of its new operating
system which has the code-name Longhorn.

Ignorance can sometimes be overrated. MS-DOS is the most widely used system. DOS stands for 'Disk Operating System' by the way
and it's the platform for operating systems on your
computer. RSS stands for 'Really Simple Syndication' and it has
long been associated with blogs and blogging because
they are written in RSS or XML format -- code like HTML.

You can read more about
Microsoft's RSS plans here: Understanding RSS In The Next Windows. Is truly groundbreaking , due out in 2006 and in servers
by 2007, microsoft's announcement of its plans to place RSS features
into its next Windows version.

Should make David
Letterman happy! Most interesting is a new set of applications -- Simple List
Extensions -- allowing web sites to publish feeds containing
lists such as a wish list or top 10 list. And giving it much more powerful applications; this takes RSS out of just browsers and RSS readers (called
aggregators).

Viewing and accessing the information you
want to digest, you can now take control
of your Internet. Searching and subscribing to your favorite
information or sites a lot more easier, these applications will
make browsing. These RSS applications will
be very beneficial and rewarding, for you, all kidding aside.

Can all now be syndicated
with the new RSS platform. . . Personal photo albums, updates, events, calendars. It has many personal and business applications that will
take 'keeping in touch' to a new level.

RSS is
still not understood by most people, outside of blogging and a few alert online marketers, lets face it. What's really important about Microsoft's plans (I believe)
is the fact that this now makes RSS legit.

RSS doesn't have to be known or even understood
by the majority of the people who will be using it, likewise. Or even ISPs to get full benefit from the web, dOS, they don't really have to know about
servers. People don't have to understand 'HTML'
to enjoy the Internet, but as stated before.

RSS applications could have a far reaching impact on your
computing world of the future, under the Creative Commons license. But it's helpful that you do understand for you the
future of RSS holds many treats and the full impact won't
really be known for years.

An interactive channel
that broadcasts audio and video to all interested subscribers. It may even pave the way
for a 'Billion Channel Internet' -- where each web site is
its own little broadcasting system. The potential of RSS is enormous.

And its not that great a leap
or too fantastical to imagine such a system will exist in
the very near future. Etc, data feeds, broadcatching, many components are already in place like podcasting. Microsoft's announcement may just be the nucleus of such
a system.

Don't come to us -- we will deliver. From a passive role to a more pro-active one. . . For RSS changes HOW information is transmitted on the
web.

RSS to those who keep a close watch on all things RSS)
and asked his opinions on these recent developments. It was more than
fitting that Microsoft's RSS team met with Dave Winer
(Mr. RSS is also one of the more democratic elements of the
web where the little guy has a say.

No one seemed to be taking RSS seriously. The mantra was becoming a tiresome echo across the
web; ordinary Bloggers have preached the benefits of RSS for so
long.

It does
change how computers and the Internet will work. It can't be understated that Microsoft's
incorporation of RSS into Windows is one of those true
'turning points' that has to be acknowledged, in that light.

This is a great step forward in making RSS an integrated and
seamless component of computers and the Internet.

Someone has gotten RSS right, at last.
