there's also Silverlight (Flash killer?) -[if I understand the hype correctly, Silverlight is the latest entry in the RIA framework arena, this time from Microsoft (but cross-platform)] - see: http://blogs.msdn.com/tims/archive/2007/04/15/introducing-microsoft-silverlight.aspx

There are other methods, most notably Flash, that can be used to the same
end.

That's hardly new.  I think is a useful buzzword as it helps define what
AJAX really is.
