An RSS version would be cool. If you aggregated multiple machines, you could keep tabs on a whole office that way.
The way I interpreted their notifications was that they'd add it as some sort of daily or scheduled notification in the system, like a popup. I can't stand the existing popups they've added in Vista (warnings, etc) or many of the ones they had before (yes, I really do want to move that file to the recycle bin, thanks), so more notices just seems like a step in the wrong direction.
RSS though, great idea! :)
- smanek 18y agoThere are already protocols better designed for that sort of thing (think SNMP or Syslog). RSS is really just an XML schema optimized content syndication - it just isn't the right tool for the job. Not too mention that you probably don't want your one central server polling 50,000 desktops for updated RSS feeds every hour.
- lux 18y agoGood point. A push-based tech would definitely be preferable there.
