Microsoft, Apple eyed for AJAX alliance

So OpenAjax is not going to come out with the next version of AJAX, right?

No, OpenAjax is definitely not going to come out with another version of AJAX. OpenAjax is really going to be looking at [this] from a full industry partnership on how to move AJAX forward. Now, one might say that as we start looking at AJAX Hub and things like that, that people might say that, well, that's another version of AJAX. But in reality it's the same version of AJAX. We're just working to build it out.

Any final thoughts that you want to add?

I think my only final words really come back to, I've been working in technology for many years, and as with any technology that's coming on the scenes, there are initially problems. Some of the problems have to do with, first of all, education of the audience, and the second thing has to do always with security, manageability, scalability, and things like that. Our friends from Google proved that AJAX can scale through Google Maps. For that matter, in a lot of cases I think that they've proved that you can run a pretty secure shop with AJAX.
