Ultimate Developer and Power Tool List for Windows

Recently updated to its 2006 edition, Scott Hanselman's Ultimate Developer and Power Tool List for Windows is definitely worth a visit for developers and IT professionals.

A few utilities from his list of top ten for 2006 that I have recently found useful:

Lutz's Reflector and its addins are amazing tools for dissecting .NET assemblies and performing static analysis.  They can offer great insight into what's going on in the framework.

Foldershare allows you to synchronize your files between multiple computers.  (It's now a Windows Live Service!  Who knew?) 

Zoomit, the screen magnifier, is perfect for technical presentations.

 

[Quick update to clarify: these are just 3 of many utilities on the list that I've found useful.  I'd be interested to hear which utilities work for you, and how they improve your workflow.]

  I'd also highlight TestDriven.NET plug-in which was number 11 on that list but is great for giving unit testing to the folks who don't yet have one of the Team System editions of Visual Studio.

  Yes - TestDriven.NET is impressive.  I haven't worked through a major project with it myself, but I've heard very positive feedback about it from developers.
