As you probably have heard there is a new release of Atlas (MSFT's answer to Ajax). After reading through some of the content and a few blog posts I found myself almost ready to drive down to MSFT Campus and buy a beer for the entire Atlas team!

Take a look at what Richard posted to the Atlas Blog. Under "Changed", you see "1. atlas: server UI controls removed".  That right there made me almost shout with joy.  Every since I first laid eyes on any sort of Atlas bits (and was able to blog about it) I bitched about having a completely new set of controls, just for Atlas enabled features.  I even went so far as to corner Shanku and Scott about the issue during the MVP/AspInsider summits, and really expressed my concerns about it.  Looks like my efforts have paid off!  Read a post by Nikhil about a possible (IMHO nice) solution using ExtenderControls to add the Ajax functionality to the exist controls.
