According to CNET, Microsoft wants to rename RSS:
This time, the hubbub surrounds, not a new technology, but what to call the new technology. Microsoft’s recent release of the beta version of Internet Explorer included some tweaks in how Microsoft handles RSS feeds. A Microsoft programmer noted on a blog that “In Beta 1, we’re calling them “web feeds.” We’re still actively exploring what is the right name to use for RSS feeds, so if you have any ideas or opinions, please post to comments.”

That is odd of the blogosphere, seems a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to me. MS are not renaming RSS, they are giving an understandable name to feeds which RSS is not alone in (ATOM for instance.) It is an umbrella name and then under the umbrella you have the various standards which hopefully MS will support.
Seems a good idea to me.
