Wow, this brings back some memories. I remember being on a gig which mandated locked-down Windows laptops, but VMWare was authorized.
So I fired up FreeBSD inside VMWare running X with fluxbox[0] as the window manager. Even with multiple rxvt terminals and Firefox running, the memory used by VMWare was less than MS-Word with a single empty document!
