If I knew RSS meant subscribe! I would've use it before
What's in a word? Normal people can understand from 300 to 700 words, if you want to put a new word in their array of known words, you have to educate them a lot (it takes time).

I know more than that (both in french en english) and I swear I just couldn't figure out easily what RSS really meant. I guess I just didn't bother that much anyway (working hard and having really few time to read websites, I go to only a few sites)

If I was a communication specialist for microsoft, I would find a way to put it really easy for the masses. Easy for the people who think that the computer is the monitor. Easy for the people that think a hard disk is a hockey puck. Easy for the people using only 2 apps (MSN messenger and IE)

Each time you lower the difficulties to use it, you can increase dramaticaly the number who actually use the product.

Subscribe, I would use it, but people could mismatch it with subscribing to receive e-mail
Auto Update would be good
Auto Update this site probably better but too long
Info Update put the information first

Anything in that direction could be good. Throw a brainstorming to find a knew one.
