Blog Business Summit Gets Preview of Vista’s IE7
On Friday visitors to the Blog Business Summit were treated to a preview of RSS functionality in IE7 running on Windows Vista.
Yahoo News reports : “The new version of the browser will include support for RSS, a technology that alerts users to new content posted to blogs and Web sites. The goal is to make subscription activities more mainstream by allowing users to add an RSS feed as easily as creating a Web page bookmark.”
“The XML code has been transformed into a nice view over the feed,” said Dean Hachamovitch, General Manager of the Internet Explorer team at Microsoft. Attendees were shown that to subscribe to an RSS feed in IE7, a user simply clicks on a button in the toolbar that runs across the top of the browser. A preview of the feed then comes up which can be added it to a list of favourites.
Users can also search through content by filtering down to specific information.
Yahoo News reports : “The demonstrations showed how to add an RSS feed from the BBC news site and how to subscribe to a feed from an MSN shopping query for iPods.”
Hachamovitch added : “It’s not just about IE, [but] about IE and Windows enabling a very easy experience to have subscriptions. The subscription experience [is] exposed at a very high level inside the browser. The great thing about putting [subscriptions] in the browser is there is a common feed list.”
Windows Vista Weblog awaits further revelations with interest.
