Ajax is just a new flashy label for something that exists for more than two years.
Much more than two years in fact, for instance people doing SVG have been doing that for at least five years, and I'm sure that a bunch of IE-only sites have been using it for a long, long while (XmlHttpRequest is a MS API, as might be inferred from the completely inept design).
But hey, who cares? If putting a shiny new name on it means that more people do cooler stuff, who cares? As an added bonus you get to grumble smugly about you were doing that before this century started while those kiddies were still figuring out how to best put a spacer gif in a table.
