Microsoft: Help Us Rename 'Atlas'
By Nate Mook | Published August 21, 2006, 2:07 PM
Microsoft is looking for suggestions on what to name its new AJAX development tool known by the code-name "Atlas," which is due out early next year. Atlas is designed to simplify the creation of ASP 2.0-based Web sites that take advantage of advanced JavaScript and XML functionality.
"I can confirm that "Atlas" will not be the final name, and clearly we are listening, so add your funny and serious suggestions alike," said Microsoft developer Brad Abrams. ASP guru Steven Smith has posted the Atlas Naming Game and Microsoft will be looking at the comments for ideas.
JAW!!!

|Everyone can mock Microsoft all they want about "copying", but I was writing "AJAX" code in 2000 using IE and no other browser at the time supported the XmlHttp object.

|Since MS "copies" everyone else, they should call it HIJAX.

|But in the case of AJAX (as we know it today), everyone else copies MS.
