Several of my colleagues referred me to Scott Gu's blog entry on ASP.NET Chart Component for the .NET Framework 3.5. I had time to take a first look tonight. I downloaded the component, the Visual Studio 2008 tool support and the sample project. Each package installed easily. I copied the sample project into the IIS directory on Vista and after encountering several error messages, I set the directory to be an application. The first look is very impressive. I've purchased packages from Infragistics and DotNetCharting over the last four years and this free component easily meets or beats quality and quantity of charting options offered by those packages.
