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.

Name That Microsoft Product

Just leave the goddamned name alone. It is a good one.

Sigh. I guess i better resign myself to the fact that we are going to get a name such as: "Microsoft Asycnhronous Internet Platform 2007 for ASP.NET 2005"

Shani Raba — Fri, 18 Aug 2006 15:06:05 GMT

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;)

I agree ASP.NET "Live" is a likely option. Especially considering the amount of marketing dollars MS is currently pumping into anything to do with Live.

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.

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.

re: Want to name Atlas?

Licantrop0 — Sat, 19 Aug 2006 02:09:03 GMT

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.

re: Want to name Atlas?

Duncan Cook — Sat, 19 Aug 2006 02:12:09 GMT

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

Bryan — Sun, 20 Aug 2006 01:39:33 GMT

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.

David Oliver (aka C9's Sabot) — Sun, 20 Aug 2006 12:34:34 GMT

Personally, I don't get it!?

Why put all this effort into giving something a name and promoting it's existence ...

... then getting lots of people to test it and spread the word

... and when it's near time to launch it you guys want to change it's name!?

It's like a kid going through school with the name of Johnny and when it's time to leave and get a job the parents then decide to change his name to Peter.

Am I the only person that thinks this strategy is just a little bit silly?

I've got this amazing idea Microsoft! Don't change the name of your products, the code names work fine for me, put a Windows infront if you want to have some continuity with an existing successful branded product.

Ok, so each code name is going to have to be a bit punchie from know on, oh but wait a minute ... they are!

This is a lesson Apple have already learnt, remember OSX 10.4? It has Tiger written on the box.

Navid — Tue, 22 Aug 2006 01:07:20 GMT

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.

re: Want to name Atlas?

Jimmy — Fri, 01 Sep 2006 06:11:21 GMT

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?

re: Want to name Atlas?

Jimmy — Fri, 01 Sep 2006 06:16:46 GMT

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.
