Atlas is Microsoft's framework for AJAX-style web application development. The recently launched Atlas site provides developers with software, documentation, quick starts, and hands-on exercises.
ASP.NET Atlas is a package of Web development technologies that integrates an extensive set of client script libraries with the rich, server-based development platform of ASP.NET 2.0.
Atlas enables you to develop Web applications that can update data on a Web page by making direct calls to a Web server — without needing to round trip the page.

This is just a hype that microspoft is creating. AJAX is not a big thing rather its just a 5 lines of javascript code with which you can get the AJAX effect in the web development. For this Microsoft is creating hype like its a Jumbo Jet, Infact it is a cycle...
Atlas and Ajax-based APIs are really hard to maintain, and its client side architecture breaks server-side API.
zumiPage is a better solution.

a cool site with AJAX.
This new web development technology from Microsoft integrates cross-browser client script libraries with the ASP.NET 2.0 server-based development framework. In addition, Atlas offers you the same type of development platform for client-based web pages that ASP.NET offers for server-based pages.
Because Atlas is an extension of ASP.NET, it is fully integrated with server-based services. Atlas makes it possible to easily take advantage of AJAX techniques on the web and enables you to create ASP.NET pages with a rich, responsive UI and server communication. However, Atlas isn't just for ASP.NET. You can take advantage of the rich client framework to easily build client-centric web applications that integrate with any backend data provider and run on most modern browsers.
Atlas is a rich Web application development framework that builds on top of ASP.NET 2.0 and allows you to make your Web applications much richer by tapping into the capabilities of the HTML and script and other capabilities that modern browsers have to offer. It allows your application to be a much more immersive much more interactive and provides a superior user interfaces and experiences.
