I've been using Google reader for some time and I'm very pleased with it.
It also integrated with google gears, so offline reading is also available.

The only "but" I have (yes, I only have one ) is that it still ain't integrated with Google Apps, like for instance, google mail.

You also might want to install Apple Safari just to use Google Reader. i've got about a thousand blogs in my opml and both Firefox and IE7 choke w/ Google Reader. For some reason Safari handles it like a champ with no sluggishness or flicker.

I've been using Google Reader for quite some time and I love it, it is by far the best aggregator that I've tried (and I've tried a lot). I'm running IE7 on Vista and have about 200 feeds or so and it works fine for me.
