blogbot - RSS/ATOM Aggregator

I have been using a Google homepage for quite awhile now.  Google allows you to add blogs that you read often to your home page.  I have been doing this, but always wanted (being the lazy bum that I am) to have them automatically downloaded to my MS Outlook.  I finally checked into some and have been trying blogbot.  It has been around awhile and it is open source so I feel confident that it does not contain anything malicious.  It does not seem to be slowing things down and I like that I can even be notified (via the little message bubbles) that new posts have been posted. 
 
If anyone knows of a better aggregator for Outlook let me know.

I don't know about Outlook, but if you use Google Reader then you can have that be a single part on your google homepage instead of one for each blog.

I forgot to mention that Blogbot was not working nicely with another Outlook Add-on I had installed, so I dumped it. I have been using google reader for quite awhile now, and like Justin said above... It sits nicely on my Google homepage.
