SharpReader.

Comments[2] by Dave in Microsoft
Brad '.Net Guy' Wilson: Oh, and isn't it interesting that the first wave of .NET rich client apps that we've seen have all been blazingly fast and look appropriate for the environment... that definitely has never been true of Java, even today 8 years after release. Microsoft has a real advantage here that they need to leverage, by encouraging people to get away from awful web UIs and get back to rich client/server UIs.

Ouch! Brad is talking about SharpReader, a new .Net based three-paned RSS aggregator. I'm downloading it now. The related posts feature looks really cool.

Update: OK, I'm sold. SharpReader is awesome. It has really leap-frogged Synderella.

Update: it does not seem to detect updated posts like Synderella and Aggie do.

jdk1.4.2 beta came out, and it finally has decent support for the WindowsXP look and feel. The filechooser (finally, what the heck took them so long?) atually looks exactly like the windows filechooser in the screenshot I saw.
