I anticipate that the following will be released in Visual Studio 2010:

1. F# – Functional Programming Language for .NET which is now in CTP (Community Technology Preview) stage may become a part of Visual Studio 2010.

2. ASP.NET MVC Framework – It is in the Preview 5 stage right now and Beta is going to be released soon. This may be soon released as a separate framework. It may be an integral part of Visual Studio 2010.

3. JQuery – Microsoft has announced support for JQuery and it is planned to be released along with ASP.NET MVC. This may also be an integral part in Visual Studio 2010. This is the first open Souce included officially as part of .NET. Check out Scott hanselman’s post and Scott Guthrie’s post.

4. ASP.NET AJAX 4.0 may be integrated with .NET Framework 4.0. It is in Preview 1 stage. Checkout AJAX Road Map. AJAX 4.0 brings with it features like Client-side template rendering, Declarative instantiation of behaviors and controls, DataView control , Markup extensions and Bindings. Check out an article on Client Side Templating

5. C# 4.0 and Vb 10.0 features may come along with .NET Framework 4.0.
