I love Office 2007, I really do, but the time has come. I've put up with the lame RSS support in Outlook for too long and am ditching it. I never really understood why Outlook didn't simply use the common feeds with IE7; instead they used their own mechanism, which seems to arbitrarily decide whether feeds have been updated. Several of the feeds I subscribe to pop up entries hourly, even though the entries are old and have already been seen; some are weeks old. Sometimes an entire feed pops into view, with months worth of entries. I've finally reached the point where I'm fed up of deleting entries I've already seen, so am going to install a third party plug-in.
In the past I've used IntraVnews and while this worked really well, it always caused Outlook to hang for a while during startup. It's also had no releases for a while, so I'm going to move to something else. What do people suggest? Newsgator, Attensa (which looks interest as it also seems to support podcasts), something else?
An alternative is a separate RSS aggregator, but since I have Outlook open all of the time it seems sensible to use a plugin. What I really want is a way of centrally subscribing, so that when I'm away with my laptop I don't have to deal with the catch up on my main machine.
