Visual Studio 2015 No Bower Packages In Intellisense

Question

I have just download the Visual Studio 2015 Community edition and started to learn ASP5.

I have seen on many blog posts and videos, that when creating a new bower.json file you should be able to drop a line under the dependencies and a list of packages should start filtering as you type in the intellisense. I am however unable to see any of these packages listed, its also unable to find any versions if I manually type in the package name showing the only option as '*'. I have confirmed that the correct json schema has been selected for bower http://json.schemastore.org/bower.

I am running VS2015 on a windows 7 64bit machine and fully connected to the internet.

Looking forward to getting to the bottom of this issue.

Luckily at least both Bower and Node version IntelliSense started working for me after installing Node.js Tools for Visual Studio.
