I am in the process of setting up my development VM and taking a little inventory for the apps that I find indispensible on a weekly – if not daily – basis.
Here they are, in no particular order:
- The lastest version of Visual Studio with any available service packs
- The WPF Toolkit and MVVM Template
- Karl Schifflett’s XAML Power Toys
- SQL Server Express
- SQL Server Management Studio/tools
- Reflector
- Resharper
- Regulator
- Chrome and IE8
- OneNote. Yes, OneNote, seriously…
- Microsoft Virtual PC
These keep me working and productive. I suppose I should also mention Office apps in general (Outlook, Word, Excel) but I’m one of those crazies that thinks those should just be baked into the OS already…or immediately available through a browser with just the right amount of functionality that I never have to wait for…
