Microsoft does if you are an AJAX
developer building mobile applications.
According to published reports, Microsoft is working on an
AJAX-style mobile application development environment code-named Kojax, designed
to help developers create mobile applications, purportedly for use in emerging
markets. AJAX is a Web development
technique used for creating interactive Web applications.
The code name for the technology brings to mind Kojak, the tough, bald-headed,

catchphrase was, "Who loves ya, baby?" Microsoft must be hoping AJAX
developers will dig Kojax. However, the company would not comment on the
project.
Microsoft blogger and code-name maven Mary Jo Foley, who uncovered the Kojax
name and information, said, "Kojax is a mobile development platform,
according to my sources, that will allow Microsoft- and third-party-developed applets
[to] run in an AJAX-like way, using a combination of Visual Studio tools and
JavaScript, on Java-based mobile phones."
