The RSS is borked. All of the articles link back to the RSS feed.

They're a bit weird, e.g. <link>http:/channel9.msdn.com/posts/LauraFoy/Pressure-Sensitive-Keyboards/</link> - note that instead of "http://" it has "http:/". Looks like they changed (from being correct to being incorrect) between 8pm BST on the 20th and 12pm BST on the 21st.

http://channel9.msdn.com/forums/RSS/, subscribed in Google Reader, has the following link for this post: http://channel9.msdn.com/channel9.msdn.com/forums/Feedback/500713-RSS/. That results in a "We couldn't find that" error page. The problem with the link is fairly evident, but what I'm not sure about is who's responsible for the breakage (though suspect C9).

wow... that sucks, thanks for catching this guys. In FireFox, it seems to 'fix' them up for me... so I don't even see any problem unless I view source or look in IE

No idea of the cause, but I'll look into it right now!

Yeah, now that I look at the RSS source, I think the issue is the "http:/" and Google Reader is trying to "fix" this in a way that produces the even more borked link I posted.
