Not true. You could call XMLHttpRequest an 'invention' of MS, but that's not a technology, it's a method.
AJAX is an approach-- a combination of CSS, DTHML, XMLHttpRequest, and Server side technologies. Yes, it relies on the XMLHttpRequest as a major component, but that's all it is, a component.
By your logic, all web apps are Netscape technology since they invented the browser.
No wait, AJAX is MOSAIC technology. Yea, that's it!
