It was only recently that someone decided to give it a cool trendy name "AJAX" and all the trendwhore bandwagon jumpers immediately jumped on it.

It got its name about 18 months ago, its not that trendy of a name, and its an even drier whitepaper where it was specified. Microsoft put the tools inplace to enable AJAX, but they never recognized its use as such and didnt the tools in the way they are now.
Actually, MS just jumped on the actual AJAXwagon recently.
Their AJAX toolkit Atlas has recently left beta and is now available as a free download.
I havent tried it yet and probably wont as I don't have anything to run ASP code on, but some of the demo's I've seen look interesting...
