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."

    Because the jQuery maintainers are going to happily incorporate Windows-only modifications made by Microsoft to the library, correct?

    Because "we'll be shipping jQuery as-is, and submit patches to it like everyone else" means something weird and wacky you must have deduced ahead of us. Correct?

    Actually I'm at a loss here. Could you enlighten us as to how these evil tricksies will take place.
