What's actually most interesting (imho) about this is that it now has
the "MS seal of approval".  All those stick-in-the-mud shops who only
do things when MS say that it's good will have the benefit of an MVC
framework.  All those "but MS doesn't do it that way" programmers will
have the benefit of an MVC framework.

This has an important side-effect in that there's more code that
programmers from other techs won't think "wow, I'd rather stab myself
in the eyes than look at anything written in .NET".  Perhaps it might
remove a few more viewstate inputs and "page as form" sites, too.
(ugh).
