IE7: Native XMLHTTPRequest object (er, that's the Ajax thing)
Sunava Dutta, Program Manager in the Internet Explorer team posts:
"I’m excited to mention that IE7 will support a scriptable native version of XMLHTTP. This can be instantiated using the same syntax across different browsers and decouples AJAX functionality from an ActiveX enabled environment."
Lots of comments piling in, most seem positive.
