I was always hoping this might happen.  Support from Microsoft along with distribution of jQuery with Visual Studio and ASP.NET MVC.  Scott Guthrie and Scott Hanselman along with John Resig have some more detail in their posts.

I plan to update my post, Ajax Control Toolkit and ASP.NET MVC, to use jQuery and the toolkit.  It is about using CSS selectors and the Ajax control Toolkit as an alternative way to use the toolkit in any web development platform.  I modified the Microsoft Ajax library to support CSS selectors, but it is a poor hack and would much prefer to use jQuery anyway.  I was trying to see if I could make it work with the Microsoft Ajax Library from their old preview version from last year.  I was wondering if they would try to reinvent the wheel.  I am glad they decided not to.
