Oh, btw, I'm not the author of it either!
It's a modified version of and old release of this one: http://www.allthingsrss.com/rss2email/

I think the modifications I did were encoding related and to fix wrapping of very long lines. (I sent some of those changes back to the author at the time).
If I ever get around to double checking those changes are decently implemented, I'll share those as well.

Yeah, but doesn't running windows consume a lot more power than running OSX or GNU/Linux? Especially with all that fancy aero stuff, etc, etc.
My laptop had windows out-of-the-box. With Linux I get abotu 25% more battery duration, which basically translates to 25% energy savings. Windows+IE pushed me the wrong way.

That's just what I came here to say.
Device locking (due to theft) can be done at boot-time.

Have the hardware expose the means only to LOCK the phone, and you're done; no matter what OS, it can still be locked when lost (assuming the OS supports it), and can never be unlocked, since you can no longer install any OS, os even boot the existing one.
