Microsoft Feed Manager API - Tales of a Developer Advocate

Is it me or is the Microsoft Feed Manager API not a Managed API? I have just read through it and it all seems to be COM based.

What has happened to Microsoft "policy" of creating nearly everything for Vista via Managed Code? Additionally, condsidering RSS is XML and .Net Handles XML like nobodies business I would have thought a managed API was a no-brainer. All this means that I have to Interop just to use this new feature.... give me a break.

Am I being silly?
