We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

Answer: every one of them is speaking at AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2006, being held October 2-4 in the Santa Clara Convention Center with 2 keynotes, 4 "Power Panels," 6 BOFs, 68 sessions and 85 speakers.
AJAX matters. We live and work in a world where more than a billion people are now on the Internet, a few hundred million of whom are online at any given moment. We live and work in a world in which people are increasingly storing their private and critical data such as their calendars, contacts, e-mail and documents on websites. We live and work in a world where the shift toward a more user-centric experience online is irreversible, and AJAX has established itself as one of the early enablers of that shift.
Come mix with those who have helped create and refine the technologies underlying the AJAX approach. Come learn from those who have developed a variety of alternative approaches. Come join the debate about where Rich Internet Applications are taking the worlds of work, entertainment, social networking and education. Come hear and learn too about other AJAX-like tools that are making it easy to create web applications that work just like desktop applications.
Featured Speakers and “Power Panel” Guests include representatives of some of the world’s leading and/or fastest-growing new companies such as:
Jesse James Garrett - Director of User Experience Strategy and co-founder of Adaptive Path
Patrick Brady - Founder, Chairman and CEO, Rearden Commerce
Scott Isaacs - Architect, Microsoft Windows Live, Microsoft
Robert Brewin - Co-CTO, Software Group, Sun
Luis Polanco - Senior Product Manager, Adobe
Adam Sah - Architect of Google Gadgets, Google
Bill Scott - AJAX Evangelist, Yahoo!
Samir Raiyani - Director of Homeland Security Research, SAP
Juho Risku - Founder & CEO, Helmi Technologies
Brian Shin - CEO, Visible Measures
Florian von Kurnatowski - Director of Technical Services, Scalix
Kevin Hakman - Co-Founder, TIBCO General Interface
Bottom line: the Thinkpad T43 that caught fire in the United lounge at LAX isn't the only thing setting the West coast alight just now: there's no doubt that the AJAX wildfire, too, continues to burn with ferocious heat, so if you’re not yet familiar with the world of AJAX, Flex, RIAs and “Web 2.0”…come warm yourself!

One thing that should be discussed when talking about the "The coming RIA wars..." (That have been going on for almost 5 years) are the benefits and limitation of the underly "VM" that the technologies are built on.
For any given application one VM technology made be best suited for the application requirements. A framework can make it easy to use the VM and smooth the rough edges, add features but the true benefits and limitation come from the VM itself.
Currently there are four different VM technologies people use to build RIA applications (in no particalur order).
One way to reduce the challenges of using Javascript and AJAX across browsers is to use a library that abstracts away many of the differences from one browser to another.
One such library is MochiKit, which provides AJAX / remote scripting support, functional language tools, portable DOM manipulation, and event signalling. It's even got some cool flashy visual effects.
Anyway, I'm not affiliated with the MochiKit at all; I'm just a very satisfied user and even use it on my own site.
AJAX is seriously overhyped. I think, the way things stand now, we should rally behind XUL. It comes closest to what we need, and it's open, which is very important.
The surge of AJAX means that the world is ready for the revolution: the demand for rich web apps is there. However, please don't make the mistake of thinking AJAX is the way to go: it's hitting the limits of what HTML and JavaScript can do even as it provides only little bits of interactivity here and there. That's not a good start. We want a technology that can grow.

The article http://ajax.sys-con.com/read/232046.htm provides a good breakdown of the VMs.
