sorry, but after 5 years of neglect and the promise of a browser that *still* won't be up to par with with firefox, opera and safari in terms of standards compliance, and still will require developers to concoct hacks and work arounds this smacks of a useless gesture.

i'm not saying this is a bad thing, just in the grand scheme of IE's deficiencies it's right near "new back buttons" in terms of importance.

Can't even use their own icon, typical. After all these years they still copy others. They might as well use Safaris RSS Icon. Atleast you know what it means when you look at it. It says RSS in a blue box.

I mean, damn... their implementation of the RSS interface is a complete copy of the way Safari does it, why stop there? Use the icon too! LOL

Microsoft continues to be pathetic, just like the OS they made.

And if you rotate it a few degrees anticlockwise you get the icon Apple uses for radio streaming in iTunes.

Very little is original these days. Most 'brand new' concepts are reworked versions of what other companies have brought out. I mean, what is Front Row but a much simplified, prettified version of XP Media Centre edition?

No company can be blamed for copying others - it's just how innovation works these days.
