    Default RSS desktop feed thing?

    I'm looking a small program for windows can i can add rss feeds to that "pops up" with any new stories while I'm working on something, like when msn pops up when you get a email or someone logs on. It would save me time, constantly checking sites for new news every so often. I really want just a Lite app, nothing resource heavy

    any ideas?

    well i not gett vista, i want something small and free

    RSS is basicly a standard format for news

    http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/ext...S2&forumids=43

    its in XML, it means other sites or apps can display the news, (thats how our recent topic work on the main page)

    you can see that http://www.dcevolution.net/ take a rss feed from our dc news site (on the top left corner)

    if you mean setting up the sidebar on XP
    I use this - http://www.windowsxlive.net/?p=834
    have used this - http://www.thoosje.com/

    both are excellent, the first is best, due to it being the official sidebar ported (kinda) to XP.

    But the RSS gadget only has feeds from MS.com I want one for other sites like digg.com
