The Nifty Dozen

[Philippe Lacoude]

In case someone is interested in getting free .NET tools, I wrote a
small paper listing significant open source contributions to the .NET
software development community.

If you have not downloaded and tried these tools, you are probably
stranded on a desert island, away from civilization.

If you have not yet adopted at least two or three of these twelve tools
for your every day activities, you are voluntarily reducing your
productivity.

If you are not using these tools because your IT department came up
with the bright idea that you should not install software downloaded
off the Internet on your corporate PC, well, there are web sites where
you can post your résumé.

Just thought I'd point out: You listed .NET Reflector as an Open Source
tool. Actually, it isn't Open Source because the source code is not
available to anyone, least of all, freely downloadable. If anything, its
just a free utility, but not Open Source.
Thanks,
