MSN Screen Saver Beta

From the Sandbox, MSN’s equivalent to Google Labs, comes the MSN Screen Saver (beta).  Most techies are just over screen savers, with their CPU-sucking capabilities and potential for causing problems. I agree to a point. I wouldn’t recommend downloading a screen saver, especially one in beta, on an office computer; but if you’re looking to jazz up your home PC and have a little fun, this MSN screen saver is pretty nifty. You can personalize it with background photos from the folder of your choosing, and view news and weather information from MSN. However, what really makes it stand out is the ability to add any RSS feeds from websites of your choice to the list of content it displays. And if you’ve picked sides (meaning you’re on the Microsoft team, instead of the Google team…or the Yahoo team), you’ll also enjoy the Messenger, Hotmail, and Spaces integration.
