I sent around to my editors a link to the slashdot story on new Microsoft RSS extensions. John Osborn wrote back:
Interviews with the team responsible for the work — now named the Longhorn
Browsing and RSS Team, formerly the IE team — can be found on Channel 9.

Looks like the Channel 9 posting has some video demos and lots of discussion, but no downloads yet. Note the move by Microsoft to adopting Creative Commons licenses rather than rolling their own new ones. A lot of other companies could learn from that behavior!
