  1. Comment - Microsoft Gives 'Atlas' a New Name

    Whether you realize it or not, it was a smart move. 'Atlas' conveyed no information. The word AJAX is known industry-wide by web developers regardless of platform, language, etc.. I really expected them to have selected something more obscure and mysterious.

    You probably don't know too much about .NET, do you? .NET is the best thing to happen to development on the Windows platform. Software is developed more quickly, with less effort spent on plumbing code and unusual API calls, is easier to debug, far easier to deploy (xcopy), and is potentially cross platform. How is it a bad thing that code you write for Windows will soon work on FreeBSD, Linux, maybe even Mac? From a development standpoint, I think that is a pretty big step in the right direction. They are merely empowering programmers.
