Kahuna
Microsoft's announcement the other day included a preview of Kahuna - the codename for the AJAXed version of Hotmail. Microsoft are a bit late to the AJAX game with Google claiming to have popularised the technique with Gmail (Google Mail in the UK!) and Yahoo! having already delivered an AJAXed version of Yahoo! web mail. The live.com portal page looks like a beta of the alpha start.com page and it's still not clear exactly what will be live - Outlook 2003 is one product, certainly, but what else is not apparant.
