RSS error for MSDN Blogs in Outlook 2007 beta 2 - can't subscribe

[mosaicdesigns.matt]

I have had this problem for a little over a month now: whenever I try
to add an RSS feed of an MSDN hosted blog to the Outlook 2007 Beta 2
RSS subscriptions Outlook tells me that it cannot subscribe because of
a problem connecting to the server. I have no problem viewing the feeds
with other programs but would like to have my RSS feeds in outlook to
check with my regular mail. For the msdn blogs that I was able to
successfully subscribe to before this started happening I can no longer
download new posts - it provides the same error message in the
send.receive dialog. Any ideas what would cause this or how to fix it?

RSS still has issues in Beta 2.
Close Outlook. Delete the (profile name).sharing.xml.obi file in
\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook. Open it again and see if it works then.
If it doesn't, export all your RSS feeds as OPML (File, Import and
Export), delete all RSS folders and accounts. Close Outlook. Delete the
xml.obi file again. Reopen Outlook and import the OPML file.
That *might* help. No guarantees though.
