Microsoft and jQuery Finally: Thank-You!
September 28th, 2008

Microsoft is looking to make jQuery part of their official development platform … jQuery will be distributed with Visual Studio
- jQuery, Microsoft, and Nokia
Other links of interest:
- Scott Hanselman: jQuery to ship with ASP.NET MVC and Visual Studio
- Scott Guthrie: jQuery and Microsoft
I was completely blindsided by this decision.
That is seriously awesome.
It is fantastic news! Most Microsoft centric developers are responding positively to this decision too – which is really rare.
