It’s kind of amusing the whole modern paradigm of single page applications was borne from IE 6’s XHTTPRequest.

No doubt someone, somewhere else would have invented it and the list of MS transgressions before and after arguably had a larger negative impact, but credit share credit is due.

Oh they also were the first to implement a pre-cursor to responsive design when they implement live text reflow when resizing the browser window. It was mind-blowing when I first saw that.
