Last Tuesday, 9/15/2009, Scott Gutherie of Microsoft broke the news about jQuery on the Microsoft CDN. Now, whichever side of the fence you sit on in the Google vs. Microsoft religious fervor you will still enjoy being able to use jQuery on their dime! Happy, happy, joy joy!
The official ASP.NET Page about the CDN:

An in action sample:

Those of us using jQuery in our Oracle Web Content Management initiatives need to be aware of this and the Google AJAX APIs. I always like to have options. This is just one more option for us.
You can also check out the Google jQuery hosting options here.
