You can find out more information about RSS feeds by clicking on Learn more about feeds in the box that comes up (See above image). To Subscribe to the feed click on Subscribe to feed and follow the instructions. 

I can view my feeds in both IE8 and Windows Live Mail.

I also have the same feeds set up on my Laptop, Windows 7, IE9 and Windows Live Mail.
