Internet Explorer Microsoft has decided which icon it will use for RSS feeds in Internet Explorer 7. Now, I hear you say, so what? Well, the funny thing is, Microsoft teamed up with the Mozilla team on this one. They decided that it's in the user's best interest that both browsers use the same icon for RSS. And so it happened that Microsoft chose Firefox's icon.

Microsoft> I like the work you've done. I would like to give you 5 millions.
Mozilla> Thank you.
Microsoft> You're very welcome.
Microsoft> May we have your RRS icon?
Mozilla> Uhhmmm..... well, yes, of course.

Although this is good for the customers, I don't recal microsoft doing anything for just "the users", but hey!!... microsoft is a company after all.
