Just looking at the new 5219 build of Microsoft Windows Vista and one thing I've noticed is that Outlook Express is getting an overhaul, both visually and functionally.

This new build of Outlook Express now includes an RSS reader and it will probably complement the 'Web Feeds' ( as MS are trying to rebrand it ) support that is appearing in Internet Explorer 7.

This is proof positive that the IBM WorkPlace client needs to have RSS capabilities out of the box. OK, we all know that Outlook Express is not a direct competitor for WorkPlace but, like it or not, what the CEO uses at home is what they expect in the office.
