RSS Feed Management

It's really simple to follow feeds in Safari and Mail.app in Snow Leopard.

But what options do Windows XP, Office 2003, Office 2007, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 users have for following feeds without installing apps or plugins?

The reason I ask is, RSS Feed Syndication is trumpeted by Wordpress developers and bloggers, but I've heard of very little adoption; the people I know who use RSS are technical, and not representative of general users.

Out-of-the-box Vista and 7 users can follow them through IE8. Windows Live Mail handles them too -- has to be installed, but it's the default Windows mail application now, so most people will have either that or Thunderbird installed.

Firefox handles them too, and quite a lot of people are using that these days.
