Snackr is an Adobe AIR based scrolling ticker that displays RSS feed information. I created an OPML file from my Microsoft Live Personalized Experience Page (Microsoft really needs to come up with better product names :-) and fed it into Snackr after installing it.

I tested it on two PCs running Windows Vista (will test it on my Macs next). It seemed to drag my Dell Latitude D620 Core 2 Duo notebook down to the ground performance-wise. However, my much older and slower eMachine desktop PC with an old style single core Athlon 3200+ ran just fine with it running. Both systems have 2GB RAM. The desktop has a 1GB ReadyBoost USB flash drive installed too. However, I think the hard drives might be the bigger factor.

I'm going to uninstall it from the notebook but will probably leave it on for a while on the desktop PC.
