Re: Where you are wrong...

The issue is what you do with it on the client platform and that is what these patents cover.

Did you read the application?

A content syndication platform, such as a web content syndication platform, manages, organizes and makes available for consumption content that is acquired from the Internet. In at least some embodiments, the platform can acquire and organize web content, and make such content available for consumption by many different types of applications. These applications may or may not necessarily understand the particular syndication format. An application program interface (API) exposes an object model which allows applications and users to easily accomplish many different tasks such as creating, reading, updating, deleting feeds and the like.

When I say the world uses RSS, I mean the things that Microsoft now are claiming as property. How does one "use" RSS without acquiring and organizing, reading, updating and deleting the feeds??
