Apple的Safari2內建還不錯用的RSS閱讀機制後,大獲好評!
微軟也一如他們科技跟隨者的風格,宣佈將在已經不知道幾年不改版InternetExplore裡面,加入這功能。
(在FireFox崛起之前,微軟曾經放話說IE已經具有客戶需要的所有功能和安全性,不需要再升級了~2004/12)

只是你微軟老兄要加RSS功能,也不需要學Apple學得這麼像吧?
學到簡直讓人懷疑是從Safari裡面複製貼上的?
有圖為證!

圖二是日前微軟公佈新IE 7的測試版

我們再來看對照圖:

是不是欄位配置、金屬風格、簡約設計…..都像極了?

逼得Apple Safari的RSS程式碼作者Jens Alfke都跳出來說:簡直是複製貼上(Safari是開放原始碼的)!

As others have already noted, the in-browser RSS/Atom support Microsoft has announced with great fanfare for the increasingly-vaporous Longhorn is pretty much identical to the Safari RSS (aka Syndication.framework) I work on, which Apple shipped this spring in Mac OS X 10.4 “Tiger”. Same “RSS” button in the address bar, same feeds-as-bookmarks, same cross-app data store.
