    In the Sixties, Serge Gainsbourg sang “who is In, who is out”

    Today, why is everything always in beta?
    How to explain this hype around Web 2.0? Maybe ridiculous, but fashion.

    Microsoft should merge Atlas and Live projets. Both are user-centric technologies...
    An example for others Microsoft technologies...


    So, I propose this name:

    Live 2.0 beta

    First I'd say that Atlas seems like a fine name for it and now that I've been working with it for a while  I'm quite comfortable with the name.  

    But of cource it's going to change, it always does: Longhorn->Vista, [Bunch of Stuff]->.NET 3.0, Yukon-> Sql Server 2005, etc....

    Since the change is a given I'd add a vote to the previous suggestion.  "ASP.NET Live" sounds appropriatte.

    What is Atlas??

    “Atlas” is a free framework for building a new generation of richer, more interactive, highly personalized cross-browser web applications.

    Richer
    Interactive
    Cross-Browser
    Highly Personalized
    Web Applications

    So , here it is
    RICH.WEB

    Why we should change the name?
    1) I like the name Atlas
    2) I hope the Xaml (and WPF/E) will catch the Web in a few years and we will forget from HTML and AJAX technology.

    anyway if you must change this call it:
    AWF = Ajax-Web-Foundation
    and include it with the WinFx.

    How about a spoof on Arnold's trademark phrase, "I'll be Postback"... or PP.NET (pronounced peepee) for partial postback. MSAJAX sounds like the likely candidate. Just because you change the name doesn't mean it isn't still in beta;)

    Liked the comment naming it Anthem(.NET) - it's one of my favorites! :-)

    No change needed IMO, but if you guys are then some thing like:

    WAF == Windows Ajax/Asynchronous Foundation

    Or even better, just integrate this in ASP.NET FW 2.0 as System.Webx or something extended within System.Web.

    Cheers,

    Why not have Microsoft buy a copyright on the word "AJAX" (since that is their Modus Operandi) and then everyone else will have to change their name or else pay royalties.
  • Anonymous
    August 18, 2006
    I think that Ajax .NET is a good name because the word Ajax is well knowed by developers and ".NET" suffix is commonly related to Microsoft products.

    Atlas is a rubish name and does need changing.
    Search for AJAX on the web and you'll find lots of usefull stuff.

    Now search for atlas and you'll find just about every DESTINATION on the planet.

    As its Live for Developers how about

    How about Asp.net Ajax+ Technologies or more simply just Ajax+

    Say it out loud, "Ajax plus".. see the plus means more. yea that's right Microsoft has added ontop of Ajax and made it better by giving us the update panel.

    What's wrong with simply calling it "Microsoft Atlas"? I like the name personally, and Microsoft's track record with "official" names leaves little room for optimism. I'm still bothered by "PowerShell" as opposed to Monad.

    Otherwise MS Marketing is going to get its hands on it and its going to become:

    Some of the names above are really funny,

    but how about JAXON? :-)

    It's "Javascript And XML ON .NET"... ;-)

    Now seriously, ATLAS was a not related name for this piece of functionality and it took a while to get used to it (besides AJAX which at least makes sense - everybody is always confusing AJAX and ATLAS and have to think twice to remember which one to use), but why change it now and have the people get used to something new again which will be most likely not related again?

    It seems to me as if Microsoft LOVES renaming products over and over again...

    Cheers, and have fun...

    It's actually going to rolled into the .NET 3.0 Framework, right? Why not just include it as part of ASP.NET 3.0? It's tightly integrated and can only be used with ASP.NET anyway - I just see it as an improvement over ASP.NET 2.0.

    I agree, call it ASP.NET 3.0.  It will imply that it will break everything just like .NET 3.0 is doing, but at least we have 2/3 technologies on .NET 3.0.

    So that would mean sometime next year the 3.0 CLR will show up, but by then WinFX parts will be 3.5 and ASP.NET will be 3.5 too.  

    Brad everything I've read since June says that the only people who understand why WinFX is .NET 3.0 and not 2.1 or 2.5 are people who work for Microsoft.  That should really tell you guys something - Stop letting a bunch of marketing people who think they know what the public wants pick version numbers.  Are these the same folks by chance who got Office to switch from years to named versions (Office XP) for just one version?

    Better yet go with the following:

    .NET 2.0 (CLR)
    ASP.NET 2.1 (2.0/Atlas)
    FX.NET 2.0 (WinFX)

    That would make a lot more sense.
