I like jQuery + Microsoft

I like jQuery. I really do. And I use it all the time. I've had to try some pretty out there Firefox/OSS lovers software to get a good IDE intellisense experience with it. Although its a simple library, I've become spoilt with Visual Studio. There are so many frameworks out there, that to stop the nose bleeds I've started to revert to the yeoman old developer trap of "if it isn't in VS it doesn't exist"

Well hoorah, because according to ScottGu's blog, http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2008/09/28/jquery-and-microsoft.aspx we can now expect jQuery to be included by default with VS and the ASP.NET AJAX library.

This is fantastic news, and another great step forward in seeing Microsoft's best of breed development tools be right where they should be as far as the support of JS libraries is concerned; I won't be surprised if we see jQuery either ship in IE8, or be hosted on something nice and blazing vast (pos. with a cache in IE8?) so that all the goodness we developers write in the coming months will run really fast.
