Pfft... seems like microsoft is just copying Mac's idea to make a rss screensaver less crummy. The funny thing is that Microsoft had a rss screensaver built-in with their msn spaces download ages ago.

Bashing aside, I have been wanting a screensaver for windows that can finally make rss not look like static text for awhile now.

Here's hoping they can release a version that can run on winxp.

It's already running on winxp: you just need .NET Framework 3.0 and IE7 to go to this page https://www.microsoft.com/emea/msdn/thepanel/download.aspx?tar=universs&lcid=1036
