Microsoft does have a component called MDAC (data access)
that allows for access to databases, etc.. The early version of
ADO (active data objects) evolved a RDS (remote data services)
feature. RDS was soon exploited in its early version. An RDS
usage, for an example, allows a web page to get a refresh of the
data it is using for display but without having to refresh the entire
web page with a full server roundtrip.

That said, anyone can make up names, and these are often
choosen to sound like something real, something one might
find info about via a web search, sufficient to make it seem
like it is OK.

ok thank you for the clarification, Roger.

I actually wanted to ask one more question. Since it is possible to
use RDS on a web site, do you know of anyone using it nowadays?

I do not know about RDS specifically, but many sites do use
similar techniques. Even a site hosted on IIS using MS software
may be doing this but without use of RDS (which, again, is any
old technology). Consider for example an eBay item page where
there is sometimes a Refresh button that only updates the time left,
current bid, number of bids.
