I wonder why stuff like this is getting any coverage at all.  Displaying RSS feeds on the desktop is defintely not a new thing.  Its nice to see that Microsoft is taking RSS on, but who really cares who does it exactly, just as long as its done.

I personally would continue to use Samurize for this very task (and I dont need Longhorn for it).

  Apparently, not a lot of people were aware of that, or else Dave wouldn't had to ask. But again, the RSS "ticker" is just an example of what can go in a sidebar tile, just like the picture gallery. Besides, I was able to do things similar this with IE4 and Active Desktop MANY years ago :)
