Hunting for a newsreader

What newsreaders do you all use?

I have been using various bits of software, but it’s becoming a royal pain in the rear to keep manually updating each one, so I really need a cross platform solution (windows/linux at least).

I’m not overly keen on browser based readers, but if that’s the only solution that’s what I’ll have to do. Bloglines and similar services – can’t stand ‘em. I’d much rather have a seperate programme to read everything in.

Any suggestions?
