Which unittest framework is integrated into Visual Studio 2008

Visual Studio 2008 has built-in unittesting that was previously only available in the Team Suite editions. What unittesting framework is this based on? MbUint, MStest, xUnit or something completely different?

It's MS Test. Would you expect it to be anything else? It would be a bit like MS deciding to use NAnt instead of MS Build ;)

On the other hand, I seem to remember that ASP.NET MVC has unit testing options for MS Test, NUnit and MbUnit. I haven't used it myself, so that information is purely based on screenshots.

Personally I think MS could have sewn up the unit test framework market in 2005 if they'd given MS test a bit more polish (like a red/green bar!) and included it in the Express edition. The fact that it's available in Pro now is a good start, but there's still a message of "unit testing isn't for hobbyists" which I find somewhat annoying :(

MSTest is included with VS2008, as it was with Dev. edt. and Test edt. in VS2005.
