Microsoft Adding jQuery To Visual Studio

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the well-isn't-that-special dept.

Tim Anderson writes "Microsoft's Scott Guthrie, Corporate VP of the .NET developer division, announced that the open source jQuery Javascript library will be integrated into Visual Studio, the main Windows development tool. Further, Microsoft will treat jQuery as a supported product within technical support contracts, and will use jQuery to build new controls for ASP.NET, its web platform."

    I think read once is optimistic.

    Fearful of the power of Slashdot, Microsoft also announced the release of .net® auto-dupe(TM) support to Visual Studio. From now on anything you publish will have a random chance to be published again a few days later.

    This feature is expected to solve the widespread problem of users not wanting to use a first release for fear of bugs. Now they'll see a second release and plunge in! An ASP.net(TM) version will be forthcoming with the next service pack, allowing your website to fill its content needs by duplicating random articles.

    Ah, but did you hear that Microsoft was adding jQuery to Visual Studio? Maybe I should submit it as a Slashdot story.

    (Seriously, I wonder what the record is for the most times the same story has made it onto Slashdot? Two? Three? A dozen?)
