I mean for geeks it's important to know what RSS is. For the common user they just need to understand how the application of what it does works, but they don't need to know the technology behind it. For instance, nobody in the world who uses an Email client has any idea about RFC 822 or the formatting of mail messages. I think Vista should be a big step.

I myself am sort of in between - not too techy to the point of writing code, but not layman enough not to understand what RSS is and how it works, moreover how its transforming the way people use the web. Interestingly enough, I find myself sometimes too deep in one work or the other :-) thanks for the comment! -G Good point Ian - sometimes I get wrapped up in the “geekdom” of everything.
