Microsoft passes OpenAjax interoperability testing
Microsoft certainly has a love/hate relationship with open source. So chalk another one up in the “love” column. Microsoft officials said that they have passed OpenAjax interoperability tests. Specifically the company’s software passed InteropFest 1.0 tests which means that it will work with other AJAX components in the OpenAjax Hub. The hub will provide interoperability between different AJAX frameworks. It has a decent list of participants including Adobe, IBM, SAP, Tibco and more.
