One of the areas we want to work on with the Extensions for Visual Studio is making your life as a device developer easier. I often work with Visual Studio in full screen mode. For those that don't know, you can make Visual Studio full screen by pressing ALT+SHIFT+ENTER. To return to windowed mode, press the key same combination again.
One of the disadvantages of working in full screen mode is the continual context switching out to the various tools and utilities you use as part of your everyday development duty. One such tool that I frequently use is the Remote Performance Monitor. I've often dreamed of how wonderful it would be to have this integrated into the IDE so that we can reduce the context switching. Well, that dream is becoming a reality.
Usual disclaimers apply. This is not yet fully baked and may or may not actually make it into the Extensions for Visual Studio.
