As a VMware user, I prefer to keep my Windows VMs as small as possible. Makes them easier to back up as well.

  If you're virtualizing Windows, do you have any need for Cygwin?

  Assuming the Cygwin binaries don't self-mutate, you only pay their cost once. Dunno about VMWare, but VirtualBox's snapshots are copy-on-write.
