SharePoint 2007 to Get Ajax Support
In a service pack for SharePoint 2007 that should be out later this year Microsoft reportedly plans to add support for ASP.Net AJAX, which should allow developers to create a whole new range of iterative applications for the Web on top of SharePoint.
The fact that this is coming relatively early is probably because the folks building Windows Live and Office Live within Microsoft are probably already working out the kinks on the beta given the realtionship between those Web offerings and SharePoint services.
For end users, this means they should expect to see a whole range of new AJAX driven applications delivered through SharePoint probably starting sometime in early 2008 -- Michael Vizard
