.NET Musings

So, I am just about finished rebuilding my base .Net development virtual machine.  Turns out "base" is a rather loose term in this case.  I use a LOT of software... Here is my list.  I've separated it into development software and supporting software, and they are not listed in any particular order.  Let me know if you have any additional and/or alternate tools that you find helpful.

Note: This has become a living, dynamic page, as I am constantly updating it to match my current software of choice.
