- Export your feeds as an OPML file on your old computer: File > Import and Export... > Export RSS Feeds to an OPML file
- Move to your new computer
- Delete any RSS feeds that are registered in Outlook: Tools > Account Settings > RSS Feeds
- Delete the RSS feed list for IE by deleting all files in %LocalAppData%/Microsoft/Feeds
- Delete all of your RSS folders. This is especially tedious because of a lack of multi-select
- Make sure that RSS feeds are synchronized between IE and Outlook: Tools > Options > Other > Advanced Options... > Sync RSS Feeds to the Common Feed List
- Add the RSS feeds by importing the OPML file in Outlook: File > Import and Export... > Import RSS Feeds from an OPML file
Other hightlights of the move included a UI failure caused by local file caching and a UI deadlock apparently caused by appearance of a password dialog (some of my PST files are password protected).

how do you find your rss feed, i wnat to make a igoogle,thing, with an rss feed of my blog but i cant find the rss feed of my blog, is that what feedburner is for???
Hi Matthew,
My syndication feed is: http://rupertrawnsley.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default. It is hidden away in the source HTML of the blog so that browsers (and other HTML readers) can find it. For instance, Internet Explorer detects feeds in a page and activates a syndication button.
Many blogs have an explicit link to the feed from the page with the syndication icon. For instance, my companies news page has a Syndication panel with a link inside.
Wiki is your friend: Web feed. Note that RSS is just a type of web feed.
thanks! that really helps
