Riiiiiiiiiight... Sure they had "no plans to change it." They just wanted to give it a more "user-friendly" name, right? Quick name change here, patent there, dash of lawsuits here, & suddenly *gasp* whaddayaknow? MS owns RSS. Heh. Believable scenario? Thank gawd people gave them a ton of flak over it.

"But is the fight over the naming of RSS within Windows Vista much ado about nothing? RSS is referred to as "live bookmarks" in Mozilla's Firefox browser, Bloglines and Newsgator call them "feeds," and most blogging software refer to the technology as "syndication," Mike Torres, Lead Program Manager for MSN Space, noted in his Web log."
