+====== Shrink the Size of Windows Virtual Machines for VMware ======
+Ideas should work with other VM software such as Virtual PC, KVM, etc.
+I know some people may think this is useless and obsolete with the ever increasing size of hard drives these days, but VM's can eat up space quick.
+If you're like me, you can have 5, 10 or more VM's.
+I use Windows XP for my host OS running VMware Workstation 6.0.x.
+Use nLite to slipstream SP3 and to remove unnecessary services and packages (additional languages).
+Map a drive to your host OS (or a network or VM server) to use for file storage.
+Similar to the previous point, point VM's at a central location for any files you can (ie ServicePackFiles).
+Delete (or move to central storage location) folders created by installed updates.
