[dba-Tech] Win8, MS SQL 2012, MS Office 2013, VS 2012 - Develper's Hyper-V VM...

Hi All --

I have got the subj 

Win8, MS SQL 2012, MS Office 2013, VS 2012 - Developer's Hyper-V VM...

setup today (the whole setup process happens relatively slow as I have to work for money on another PC) .

The subj VM and listed in the subj installed dev tools run well on Asus V76Vz WIn8 Prof notebook.

The size of VM's virtual disk is currently 36GB. I have intentionally selected expandable virtual disk to save some space. I'm going to archive/snapshot it now and then convert to a larger fixed size virtual disk and to move it to SSD.

The question is what other development/utility tools would you install on such a VM with the purpose to use that VM for 

- MS Windows 7/8 desktop development, 
- ASP.NET web development, 
- Windows 8 RT (past "Metro-style") development and
- Windows Phone 7.5/8 development?

I prefer to use "minimal set" - as minimal as possible - of development tools and utilties, I do not use third-party .NET controls but I do use and I do plan to install the end-user programs/dev.tools/utilities as:

- Win8 SDK;
- Adobe Reader;
- Adobe Flash;
- Google Chrome;
- FireFox;
- FAR Manager;
- WinRAR;
- LINQPad;
- RegEx Buddy;
- Enterprise Architect;
- Mercurial (HG);
- NUNit;
- TestDriven.Net;
- IrfanView;
- INNO-Setup;

What other dev.tools/utilities would you recommend to setup?


Thank you.
