It really ought to not exist, but if there has to be a news section, it needs to come with a few (like four or five) of the most respected news orgs in your locale, and be very easy to switch in or out.

But otherwise, I agree with you. Windows should not be in the business of syndicating news. That should be the job of a third party widget (maybe provided by MSN!) that you install if you're interested.

At this point I'm so used to using Feedbro with Firefox to get my news, getting it as part of the OS doesn't even occur to me. I'm not too sure how useful that would be either since I'd likely just end up clicking on a link.

I agree with you though if it exists it should optional and from credible (or from user selectable) sources.
