not bad 9 minute install with a long list of tools Office, visual studio , Visual studio Code,etc

There is not a free license for the office and studio product but you can sign in with your credentials.

Thanks to the Big compute everything is running awesome.

As you can see all the tools are there, some needs a configuration so no default things that needs to be removed first just ready to start with out the long installation of all the tools.

What was missing on the Data Science Virtual Machine (DSVM) as it is a DevOps VM I installed the RSAT tools and project Honolulu single box for Azure management and development.
