Publisher's description
From Ykoon :This free program is for reading RSS newsfeeds. It collects news in the background at user-configurable intervals and warns you with a small pop-up in the system tray when a new message has arrived. You can click the headline to see a short description and then open the original Web page in an RssReader browser or default browser window. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a format for indicating news. RssReader supports RSS versions 0.9x, 1.0, and 2.0.

Version: RssReader 1.0.72
Pros: Easy install and uninstall, without errors. This is the best RSS Reader I could find and it is free. RssReader has all the necessary functions, works good and looks great. I tested version 1.0.88.0, which I downloaded from his website.
Cons: You have to open the RssReader via the task tray.

"Works reliably and easy to use"
Pros: This is a good, solid RSS reader. It seems to work reliably.
A later version can be downloaded directly from the rssreader.com site.
Cons: Occasionally gets slightly confused about which headlines are new, but this may be down to the feeds themselves.

Version: RssReader 1.0.72
Summary: You would need .NET runtime (similar to java runtime.. ). After that its flawless. People who are cribbing about .NET runtime should get one now than later since more and more cool software tools are being written in .NET.
