Question Good RSS Readers?

I have a load of RSS threads running - mainly for work. I use a little free program called (rather imaginatively) RSS Reader It's OK, but it can be a bit slow sometimes. Any recommendations for other (Windows) RSS reader programs?

I use Thunderbird to read RSS feeds. Firefox will also do it as a list of bookmarks

I've tried thunderbird / firefox and found them to be very cumbersome to use, especially in a work situation when you have multiple feeds (for example we've got feeds set up for notifications of changes to our source code archives).

I'm using rssreader from http://www.rssreader.com at the moment. It's free, it seems to work ok, and it's one of the easiest to use that I've found so far.

I'm also playing with Attensa http://www.attensa.com/ It seems to work ok, is quite configurable, and integrates nicely inside outlook, (loads feeds into specified folders). Also adds an rss toolbar to firefox and internet explorer...

It is also possible to view RSS feeds with a personalised google home page
