    ## BEST RSS READER FOR WINDOWS, HANDS DOWN ##

    As a previous loyal GreatNews user, I got really frustrated with the author's refusal to update the program/featureset. GreatNews was actually an awesome reader and still is, but lacks incoming feed notifications, multiple select, direct link to browser, etc.

    Enter FeadReader. MY GOD -- it's like they read my mind and knew exactly which features were important, and which weren't.

    This is HANDS DOWN the best reader so far as of 5/9/09.

    There are two marked disadvantages of Feedreader compared to GreatNews:

    1) High memory usage
    2) Not portable

    Now, regarding #1). Some people care about memory usage, but I really don't. I've got a ton of memory in my CPU. What I am more concerned about is layout speed and both GreatNews & Feedreader are excellent in this respect

    2) Not portable. You cannot use it on a USB stick, but you can install Sandboxie and force it to save in specific folder on your D:\ drive like I do :)

    Bravo Feedreader! Please keep your program free, fast, and NO ADS!!

    FeedReader's ability to establish a direct connection instead of just your default browser settings makes it twice the ap greatnews is just for that reason. Gui is also much cleaner.
    Noticed however that openssl was outdated (0.9.8.4). Latest is 0.9.8.10(j)

    Excellent, easy to use and fast.

    The only problem is that the rating function is totally buggy.

    I just upgraded the program from the earlier version and it wiped out all of my existing feeds, some of which I'll never remember where I found them. I'm saddened by this. As for the program itself, I have no complaints.
