MORE INFO ADDED 12-1-06: "Internet explorer is unable to update password-protected feeds" …that's what I get when I want to see any changes to my SharePoint lists or libraries I've subscribed to. Huh???

I'm finding it odd that having this great new ability to subscribe to SharePoint lists and libraries via RSS seem to be blocked when using Internet Explorer 7. (I'm also hearing the same to be true when subscribing to a SharePoint RSS feed via Outlook 2007, but I'm not sure…)

Here's what one of my SharePoint list feeds look like: http://www.kalliwssv3.com/_layouts/listfeed.aspx?List=%7B06233581%2D7451%2D45BA%2D9547%2DBD818880B930%7D. Now, when I try to add this to another RSS reader, like Newsgator, it won't accept it because it doesn't recognize this url as a feed. The same for Firefox.

So…I can't use Internet Explorer, Firefox, Outlook 2007, Newsgator, etc. to read any of my SharePoint feeds. What good is this feature? How am I supposed to read these feeds?

I don't get it. Talk about 2 steps forward and 3 steps back…

What am I missing here? Someone please explain this logic to me.
