Either that was the fastest RC1 EVER, or I was slow getting on the RC1 boat... hmmm...
UPDATE: Yeah, it was me. I looked at the date of the blog I was quoting... Jan 14. HELLO!! Still, though, one week, seems to be seriously fast for RC1 to release.
Anyway, ASP.NET Ajax acheived version 1.0 status, meaning it's FINALLY released to the web.
From the website:
ASP.NET AJAX is a free framework for quickly creating a new generation of more efficient, more interactive and highly-personalized Web experiences that work across all the most popular browsers.
With ASP.NET AJAX, you can:
- Create next-generation interfaces with reusable AJAX components.
- Enhance existing Web pages using powerful AJAX controls with support for all modern browsers.
- Continue using Visual Studio 2005 to take your ASP.NET 2.0 sites to the next level.
- Access remote services and data directly from the browser without writing a ton of complicated script.
- Enjoy the benefits of a free framework with 24x7 technical support provided by Microsoft.

Next time, I'll try to keep up with the blistering pace of development. In the meantime, enjoy!
