title: Why is the fact that Microsoft decided to support jQuery such a big deal?
body: <p>I don't see what all this fuss is about Microsoft's decision to support JQuery within ASP.NET MVC.</p>
  
  <p>There were signs that open-minded people are starting to have some say in the matters of marketing for a while now. And even the way MS does business has started to change. But at it's core it's still acting in response to customers' requests.</p>
  
  <p>I for one don't know what to make of it, except that it brings back to Microsoft's sphere of influence a very visible product.</p>
