Do some research. Yes, XMLHttpRequest was initially invented by MS. But it was then added to the W3C JavaScript standard making it available to all browser vendors. Let me put this in even more perspective. Netscape (remember them) invented JavaScript initially. That technology is available on all major browsers. Heck if it wasn't then AJAX would not even be possible. So you see Netscape invented JavaScript. MS took this JavaScript and added XMLHttpRequest. All of the major browser vendors make up the W3C committees the steer language development like HTTP, JavaScript, XML, etc.
As far as that goes, even is this was proprietary MS technology running only in IE you could still use XMLHttpRequest to communicate with a remote server that is running Apache/PHP/MySQL on a Linux server. The XMLHttpRequest protocol is only client-side and has nothing really to do with the Server architecture.
