ok, impressions after the first 10 minutes
First up, the good

• Best looking windows desktop aggregator I've seen.
• The combination of all posts and today's news is pretty cool.
• OPML syncronization.
• Validate Feed button.
• Auto-Update respects skipHours (but not sy:updateFrequency)

now the ugly

• Doesn't handle HTTP 302 redirects.
• Doesn't support gzip/deflate compression.
• Doesn't support xhtml:body
• Space (or ctrl+U) moves you down posts, but won't move you to the next channel.
• OPML Import chokes (see this for the fix, needed if you're working from a Syndirella OPML export)
• could be an HTTP concurrency issue, a number of channels failed, yet worked fine when individually updated.

I'll keep poking at it, but so far see no reason to stop using Syndirella or NetNewsWire. YMMV.
