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.
