Why does visual studio 2010 feel the need to install all of these programs all I want is C++ / C# tools:

Is it safe to go in manually and delete most of those which ones should I keep?

I think you can remove the SQL server stuff, but you need the redistributables and all that.
Doesn't it use the SQL server stuff for some of the intellisense caching?

What's the point? It's not a huge amount of space and if you really, desperately need that relatively tiny amount then uh... you have bigger problems.

I can't even remember the last time I uninstalled something. :v:
It does install a massive amount of dependencies. The OCD in me hates it. But it is a very nice IDE and that is the cost of using it.
All those "things" aren't really that much.
In Linux, when you install something it also grabs [URL="http://blog.thejit.org/2008/11/02/visualizing-linux-module-dependencies/"]a plethora[/URL] of dependencies.
Most products released for Windows make it impossible to check for existing installations of libraries (basic example: both Chrome and Steam use WebKit but there is no easy way to share the libraries except for making a "WebKit" product, which means another installer... so instead it's embedded in each product separately).
This separation of software into "products" is just Microsoft's attempt to reduce redundancy. I doubt any of them install any services that run by default; even if they did, if shouldn't affect your computer's performance during typical usage.

Enjoy the quicker startup times!
(even if you do use sleep most of the time, you do need to restart occasionally)

Yeah, but it's so rare for me to do that, that the start-up time is kind of irrelevant. Also one of the reasons I haven't invested in an SSD yet.
