They do eventually start sleeping at night, right?

TeamCity - JetBrains is getting ready to come out with an integrated team environment that supports automated and continuous builds, code coverage and analysis, IDE integration, and other nifty features. There's an EAP that you can join to get your hands on testing builds.
Magic eDeveloper V10 - New release of this platform and framework for building large-scale business applications.
Mobile Client Software Factory � July 2006 - Another tool from the patterns & practices people.
Microsoft Pre-Release Software Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 - July 2006 CTP - I still can't bring myself to think of this as anything other than WinFX.
Microsoft� Windows� Software Development Kit (SDK) for July CTP of Windows Vista and .NET Framework 3.0 Runtime Components (Web Setup) - What a mouthful.
Microsoft� Visual Studio� 2005 Extensions for Windows� Workflow Foundation Release Candidate 4 - And some tooling to go with not-WinFX.
Dark Room - A full screen "distraction free" text editor (I can't bring myself to call something with so few features a word processor). Personally, I don't see the attraction of throwing away fifteen years of UI progress, but many people are swooning over this idea.
Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) - Reliable, hosted message queuing via Amazon's infrastructure.
Exception Helper for VS 2005 - DXCore-based add-in to generate exception handling that traps exactly the exceptions that can be thrown by the selected objects in your code.

Office Web Components �Roadmap� - "Roadmap" is a polite term for "gone to sleep with the fishies."
