Safari's internal RSS reader is too cool

A stupid booting error on my Windows XP Pro box in which the OS won't load past the post-POST screen forced me to use a Mac OS X machine (I'm blogging on this now). I was messing with Safari, and noticed the 'RSS' link at the end of web pages that have such feeds referenced in their META tags. I clicked on it and noticed the FEED:// page layout (assumedly if a feed doesn't bind to an XSLT process) and the cool features, especially the ability to use a slide control to decrease/increase the length of an artricle. Absolutely amazing.

We have NOTHING like this in the Windows world (at least not with MSIE), but expect it in Vista. The only thing that comes close is Feedburner's default HTML layout, or the default page formatting applied for Blogger's Atom feeds, like mine. It apparently works for feeds that have the FEED nomenclature, as well as raw RSS 2.0 feeds.

And the screen captures are really neat. This is so much easier than the Win32 "Print Screen and copy into Microsoft Paint" gimmick I've used for years.

This is beyond cool.
