Those lucky enough to have access to a Visual Studio 2010 - does it ship with jQuery support for ASP.NET solutions? The beta did not have it yet and I could only read promises from Microsoft that they will have it included.

jquery is a part of ASP.NET MVC and MVC is a part of(at least RTM) VS distribution

Indeed, it's an MVC initiative, not just a VS one.

Just to add, I can confirm that VS2010 Beta 2 ships with ASP.NET MVC 2, including jQuery.

jQuery Conference 2009 was held at the Microsoft NERD Center in Boston Massachusetts. There was a talk by some Microsoft folk that showed the integration of jQuery into VS 2010. They are also going to support a few select jQuery plugins, including jQuery Validation, which will hook directly into the VS server-side validation. Their new cdn for hosting this type of thing seems to also be directly related.

I am just wondering why Microsoft is so much interested in jQuery rather than shipping their tools.

Open source movement, ASP.NET MVC is part of CodePlex, which is open source. Plus, they're creating MS-stamped jQuery extensions anyway ;)

I mean, normally when MS is inspired form something, it goes for creating its own one rather than supporting it, but it is good. some thing is changing in Microsoft.
