Take a look at this news item: http://www.macnn.com/articles/06/01/...asting.limits/

From the post by automorrow, it appears that there are several versions of RSS and they all have various compatability issues between them (it's a wonder RSS even works given all these versions). So this begs the question, which version of RSS is iPhoto using to generate photocasts? And since the news story states that NetNewsWire works, but what Windows RSS readers work? I would like to share my photocast with my Windows using friends, but that's not going to happen if I can't find an RSS reader they can use to do it.

Here's what Apple's marketing has to say on the issue:
Oh, and if Aunt Sophia doesn’t have iPhoto or she has a computer that runs Windows, she can still subscribe to your Photocasts via any RSS-compatible browser or RSS reader.
Well, that's not exactly true. So anyone have any successs subscribing to a photocast on Windows? If so, what reader did you use?
