eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft has decided to join the OpenAJAX Alliance of vendors working toward furthering the adoption of open and interoperable Asynchronous JavaScript and XML-based Web technologies.
The OpenAJAX Alliance is expected to announce Microsoft's plans to join the group at a session at the AJAX World 2007 conference here on March 20.
Last May, Microsoft said it would consider an invitation from the OpenAJAX Alliance.
"Microsoft is joining the OpenAJAX Alliance to collaborate with other industry leaders to help evolve AJAX-style development by ensuring a high degree of interoperability," said Keith Smith, group product manager of the Core Web Platform & Tools to UX Web/Client Platform & Tools team at Microsoft. "By joining OpenAJAX, Microsoft is continuing its commitment to empower Web developers with technology that works cross-browser and cross-platform."
