Is Microsoft.ajax.js necessary for ASP.NET MVC ajax stuff?

Question

It it necessary to include microsoft.ajax javascript files to use code such as:

@Ajax.BeginForm()

@SpikeX sometimes things seem to work while breaking in subtle ways, so I wouldn't generally recommend (exclusively) "see if it works" — David Ly

Well at the very least you could rule out a reference/library compile-time error. — qJake

No, it's no longer necessary. ASP.NET MVC 3 uses jquery by default. So you need jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js which ajaxifies the HTML5 data-* attributes generated by the Ajax.* helpers. So no more MicrosoftAjax*.js.
