I really hope Outlook 12 has a nice RSS/NNTP integration story. I use Omea Reader right now because it has provided the smoothest integration between RSS and NNTP. I find myself in Outlook Express from time to time for NNTP though because OE is quite responsive. Omea does a good job, it's just a bit sluggish at times. What would be better is to see JetBrains develop an Outlook add-in (hint, hint Omea development team!).
