Windows Vista is apparently going to have nice RSS features at the OS level which actual aggregators can use and take advantage of. So for example in Windows Vista you can use IE (or any browser that uses the vista rss APIs) to subscribe to a feed and it will automatically be listed in your favorite aggregators.
I think that eventually the major browsers will become more and more aggregator like (and I'm not sure I like that) ... but so far ... they're still just browsers.

Personally I don't think the way IE7 (apparently), Firefox, or Safari handle RSS feeds. How do they save you any time? You still have to check a single RSS feed at a time. To me the whole point of an aggregator like FireAnt, Mefeedia, Bloglines, NetNewsWire, etc, is that you can see all of your subscriptions at once. If I switch over to Netnewswire right now, I see that roughly half of the 75 or so feeds I have in there have updates. Now I know which ones I don't have to even bother looking at.
Am I missing something?

The bigger problem, for myself anyway, is that IE7 completely ignores
any platform that is not Windows, and since I don't use Windows, I guess
I should just ignore IE7. :(
Back around 2000 or so IE5/Mac was a decent browser, but I guess
Microsoft has no interest in other platforms anymore.
