Will Vista increase feed reading?

Jon Udell’s screencasts are among my favorite multimedia on the web. One of his most recent delves into the way Microsoft’s Windows Vista OS RSS system. Udell notes:

I am intensely interested in the reasons why people do or don’t take to the notion of reading RSS feeds. Mostly, as we know, they haven’t.

As an aside, isn’t that relevant to the whole blogs-as-disclosure argument? Anyway…

Udell agrees that making the feed component more prominent a part of the operating system will encourage more people to use them. The screencast, the associated post, and the comments (10 as of this writing) are all illuminating.
