Sidebar RSS feed independant of I.E

Hi everyone

Does anyone know of a good RSS feed gadget for windows vista sidebar that
doesn't use the feeds in Internet explorer. i.e you should be able to add the
feeds directly into the gadget.
Im looking for something similar to the RSS feed gadget that ships with
google toolbar.
I find the standard vista one frustrating for a number of reason:
One of them being the fact that it displays a maximum of 3 headlines which
is pathetic if you have a number of feeds. I would like to have a gadget that
I can stretch down the majority of my sidebar that displays a number of
headlines.
Please let me know if you have any ideas.

Thanks

Regards
Brendon

With Attensa and Thunderbird, you can select your own feed sources. Firefox,
you have to choose a reader like Attensa or T-Bird. AFAIK all the MS
programs like IE, WM, WLM, and Outlook all use the Common Feed list. With
T-Bird, you can import all your feeds from the CFL. Only specific sidebar
gadget I could find other than those specific to a site, is the one that
ships with Vista. You might try rolling your own gadget though. Sorry
couldn't be more help on this.
