RSS Feed Support With new integrated support for RSS in Internet Explorer 7, users can easily discover, subscribe to and read RSS feeds directly in the browser. Users can have personalized sports, news or shopping feeds delivered directly to them. Web publishers use RSS to create and distribute feeds that include links, headlines and summaries. With an RSS reader, a user can subscribe to many feeds and read new entries all in one place, without visiting individual Web sites. In previous versions of Internet Explorer, RSS feeds were rendered in the browser in raw Extensible Markup Language (XML), which is unreadable by anyone but the most technical users. In Internet Explorer 7, users can read the feed directly in the browser, scan for important stories and get a description of the content. Users can also subscribe to a feed with a single click, a process that is very similar to adding a Web site Favorite. Internet Explorer 7 also supports an RSS platform so all applications can share the same set of RSS subscriptions, enabling developers to focus on creating new end-user experiences rather than on the details of RSS functionality. More details on this functionality are provided in the Improved Platform and Manageability section of this overview. Download 2,03 Mb.
