Longhorn loves RSS! But HATES the FileSystem?

I was reading on this blog about how Longhorn loves RSS . While I'm one who always likes new features. I just don't understand why Microsoft would waste their time integrating such a simple and open standard as RSS into the OS!! And yet remove a feature
