Scott Guthrie, Microsoft General Manager responsible for a host of .NET techologies including ASP.NET and its Ajax enabled Atlas extension has a blog post on the details of Atlas’ production name and shipping status. Microsoft will ship a “fully supported ‘Atlas’ 1.0 release on top of ASP.NET 2.0 and ensure that it works with Visual Studio 2005” with the planned time by the end of this year.

- The client-side “Atlas” javascript library will be the Microsoft AJAX Library.
- The server side tags become the ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions and they will be changed from
- The “Atlas” Control Toolkit of free, shared source controls and components becomes the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit.
