Microsoft "Adopts" RSS

Adopts is perhaps the wrong word--Microsoft doesn't adopt, they embrace and extend. Thankfully RSS (based on XML) is made to be extended.
MSDN's Channel 9 has a demo video of Windows Longhorn and IE7 with RSS features. As a post on the site mentions, some folks are already upset about the whole thing.
Personally, I'm already tired of hearing about how evolutionary RSS is. People talk about the technology (and the fact that they are getting news feeds via RSS) as though the technology is The Second Coming. I might be missing something (wouldn't be the first time), but it's XML people--plain and simple. Correct me via comments if I'm wrong and follow the links above to enjoy the discussion surrounding the Microsoft flack.
