Visual Studio Intellisense (vsdoc) for jQuery 1.4.1 now available

Visual Studio Intellisense for jQuery 1.4.1 is now available and can be downloaded from the jQuery site

Note: You have to only reference the jQuery 1.4.x file in your code and do not have to reference the -vsdoc.js file. Just keep both these files in the same folder. Visual Studio automatically detects a -vsdoc.js file along with your jQuery library and parses the intellisense file instead.
