(as seen when trying to access one of our RSS feeds.)

Personally, I find it galling for a browser to arbitrarily refuse to open a file, instead ‘advising’ you to upgrade your entire operating system to read said file. I find it galling that the only worthwhile new feature in Safari 2.0 is RSS support, yet it costs $120 to get. I find it especially galling that Safari 1.3 just throws up its hands and says “nope, can’t read it” even though it’s no more than a plaintext file. Even Internet Explorer, the bane of my existence (at least, my existence as a web developer) can manage a rudimentary formatted XML tree display when it encounters an RSS feed.

Of course, it’s Apple, so i guess I shouldn’t have expected anything different. This is the company that charges $30 for the privilege of viewing certain movies fullscreen, after all.
